Spybot-S&D uses the concept of include files to make it more flexible. Each include file is a file containing the description of some problems that Spybot-S&D can detect and fix.

This files are divided into categories, so you can select what you want to target during your scan.

The basic categories are spy- and adware, system problems and usage tracks. For each category you may see include files with a short description on what they do, and the number of files, registry entries and directories that will be checked.

You can select which include files to use for your next scan by toggling the checkbox next to them.

If you see a include file in italic letters, then it is one not originating from PepiMK Software. As the include file format is public, anyone may write include files. But include files can do a lot of harm to your system, and PepiMK Software can‚t guarantee for a foreign include file, so you will be asked whether you are really sure to use the file if it is not from PepiMK Software.

You can find the file sets settings by choosing File sets from the Settings section in the toolbar to the left.
