The better sleuth work:
- run spybot, let it "fix" everything.
- rerun it until it finds nothing more to fix
- reinstall the scanner software
- rerun spybot immediately
- put everything it finds now on the exclude list
- rerun spybot to see that it finds nothing
This is assuming spybot does have an exclude list. No time to check now. Otherwise, note what files it are and manually exclude them from fixing.
It would be interesting to see what parts of the scanner software spybot wants to delete. Please post the list.
Hope this helps.

I have used S&D for awhile and have not had any problems until the last 2 times. It wipes out my scanner. After using S&D a message comes up saying I have to reinstall my Scanner. The first time it did this I reinstalled the scanner. The next time I ran S& D i printed all items that showed as problem and couldn't see any thing about my scanner. I then ran "fix the problem". and now I have to reinstall my scanner again. What's up? I have Windows XP Home and HP scanjet 3970 scanner.
