    I got the following error message for Spybot 1.4:

    "There were problems in the include File c:\Program Files|Spybot - Search_Destroy\Includes\Trojans.sbi
    See 'Include errors.log' for details. "

    I cannot find any such errors.log in either the Spybot main directory or in the Includes sub-directory.

    Any suggestions?

    Hi robls99
    I have moved your thread to General Security.

    I believe you will get better answers here.

    I looked and I have no errors.log in Include?

    You can find the Include folder here.

    Using Windows Explorer (to get there right-click your Start button and go to "Explore "),
    c:\Program Files|Spybot - Search_Destroy\Includes

    The error log should be located in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Logs

    However, you can access it through the Spybot interface.

    • Click Mode>Advanced on the Menu
    • Click Tools in the left pane
    • Click View Report in the left pane
    • Click View previous report in the main window
    • It should open a dialog box in the Logs folder where the Include errors.log will be available

    Silly question (?)

    It seems that the Include Log just identifies the name of the suspect file (there's not even a date in the master list).

    What are you supposed to do with this info?

    Help!

    The 3 files in the error log are:

    DNSChanger.rtk
    Win32.agent.fr1
    delf.spool.cn

    I still don't understand what I have to do to fix these and keep Spybot from halting when the error message pops up.
