Thanks, George.

I just couldn't understand it but that's clear now.

Best wishes,

Joan.

  Hi Joan,

  I suspect you are interpreting the number wrongly.  Spybot as of today's 
update ,checks for 24,800 different types of spyware threats.  That is what is 
displayed in the Status line.  "Running bot-check (####/24800:[botname]"

  Hi, Folks,

  I wonder if someone can explain this for me?

  When I check to see what's happening when Spybot is checking for threats, I 
get the total to be checked as something like 24 thousand odd. Yet I know there 
are far more files than that and that the antivirus scan covers three or four 
times that amount.

  Is Spybot limited to certain files?

  Best wishes,

  Joan.
