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.

These files are divided into categories, so you can select what you would like to target in your next scan.

The basic categories are "Spybots" (which contains the includes for spyware and adware) 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 the Include Files you wish to use for your next scan by toggling the checkbox next to them.

If you see an Include File in italic letters, then it is one not originating from Safer-Networking Limited. As the Include File format is public, anyone may write Include Files. However, as Include Files can do a lot of harm to your system and Safer-Networking Limited is not liable for a foreign Include File, you will be asked whether you are really sure you want to use any file that is not from Safer-Networking Limited.

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