Current Question

I've downloaded and run the latest version of Spybot (1.5 or thereabouts) several times (during the tango). Each time it tells me (I'm paraphrasing) "Congratulations! No problems were found." In the earlier version, it would always find from 40 - 80 "problems" during each scan. A few weeks back, I uninstalled and then reinstalled Spybot 1.5 to see if I had downloaded a lousy version, but I still end up with the same results: No problems. Am I missing something? My computer is a Dell Dimension 2400, running Windows XP, SP2. Thanx.
