skipped infection

[hugo66]

After scaning all discs Spyware Doctor makes the message:
found infectioins: 0
ignorde infections: 1
what means that?

I understand that you are concerned about the Ignored Items on the scan results.

These items could be a number of things, which I will cover. There are three possibilities as to why Spyware Doctor is ignoring items.

1. They are harmless cookies.
2. Spyware Doctor cannot remove the threat for now and requires a reboot to remove the threat.
3. The items could be the items in your Global Actions List

Harmless Cookies - Spyware Doctor usually detects any cookies residing in your system during Scans. Sometimes, some of these cookies are harmless and maybe also required by the websites you regularly visit. For either reason, Spyware Doctor will ignore these items during Fix.

Threats - There are threats that Spyware Doctor would require a Reboot in order to remove them. These threats are most likely protected by a running process which stops Spyware Doctor from removing them. During reboot, Spyware Doctor gets the priority to run first amongst other applications, which means Spyware Doctor can delete the infection before they get protected by any running process.

Global Actions List - The items on your Global Actions List at times will be detected by Spyware Doctor but will not be removed during the Fix stage. If you did not put anything in the Global Actions List, you must then check the list end empty it.

To remove items on the Global Action List, follow the procedures below:

1. Launch Spyware Doctor
2. Click on Settings
3. Click on Global Actions List
4. Select the item you wish to delete by clicking on it
5. And click on Remove

I hope this answers your query.
