All important settings are listed in a tree in this section. Please note
that these settings are only visible if you start Spybot-S&D in advanced
mode - the default mode will not show them.
The description that follows is sorted by the trees main categories.
Installation
This section lets you change the desktop icon as well as the start menu
and quicklaunch item.
Main settings
These are some miscellaneous settings about essential warning and
confirmation dialogs. Here you can for example change your backup preferences.
Automation
Spybot-S&D has two kind of automation settings û on system start and
on program start. Here you can set whether to start the program when you start
up your Windows, or to check for updates automatically, or to delay the scan
on system start for a specified delay or until other programs (scanners) have
terminated.
Log file settings
Spybot-S&D can write details about each scan into text files. Here
you can select whether to do this, whether the date and time should be included
in the filename, and whether to append or to overwrite the log file.
Look & Feel
You can switch a few details about the look of Spybot-S&D. Just
try the options and see what look you like most. After a while, you may want
to disable the introducing information panels, for example.
Bug Report
If you are unsure about problems, you may send a bug report to
PepiMK Software. This section is about how the mailing should be handled.
You should at least select to include system information and scan results
in the bug report (you can preview it before sending). Also, if you want to
receive the same mail as PepiMK Software, you may select to send a copy to
yourself (you need to change SMTP settings to do this û see
the Bug Report help).
Expert settings
These are some settings the normal user may not need, but that could be
useful to the power user. For example, you can set up external applications
to view result data here.
You can find the main settings by choosing Settings from
the Settings section in the toolbar to the left.
