I have three hard drives and I can not see anyplace in Spybot to tell the program what drives to check.  Does Spybot know to check all drives or does it just check drive C?

Also I am curious what people think of MS Windows Defender, you never hear anything about it and I have it on my PC and scan my PC once a month with ESET NOD32, Spybout and Defender.

When you start Spybot, you'd see a tab (on the right side of the screen) that says Settings. Open that and select Directories. Now drag and drop your Harddiscs into the big white square. Done....

Crash ;)

i personally use Nortons Antivirus (current year) / Internet Security [which catches all spyware, adware, malware / viruses / hack attempts and stops them automattically] .... SpyBot S&D, and another program called CCleaner to clean up everything else after the scans.

I personally do not like MS Windows Defender, as a lot of hackers can exploit MS products fairly easily.  I have been hacked at least 10 times in the past 2 years!!!!!!!! Once I got Nortons Internet Security.... NOTHING! I have not had 1 problem AT ALL.  I have had about 40 - 60 virus attempts, but they were blocked before they EVER got to my C:\.

Crash, I see Settings and Directories and the big white square, but just exactly where do I find C:, D: and G: to drag and drop into the big white square?  Under Settings and Directories there are no C:, D:, and G: to be found anywhere that I can drag and drop into the big white square.
