Hi All…
Im running the free Avast on my Windows XP…Home addition
Everytime a scan ends it shows a list of 20 files : says it cant scan
They are
C:/documents and settings\sbRecovery.ing
C:/documents and settings\sbRecovery.reg

Any idea why this happens?

Yes ;D

OK I will tell you, avast will also have told you that the reason why the file couldn’t be scanned, ‘password protected’ in this case as they belong to spybot S&D and are part of the recovery (quarantine) and program settings and it legitimately protects them.
