It suggests how to configure software to eliminate security holes.

2)   Program information.
Full information about files using the potential security holes.

How to detect spyware?

Anti-Spyware displays the full list of security items. Suspicious items are located at the top. They have different colors:

1)   Red – dangerous.

2)   Yellow – need carefully looked at.

3)   Light yellow – look at these items, they are probably O.K.

Anti-Spyware shows a hint to each item in the bottom panel.

1)   Reset to default. Sets a value to default state.
Default value is chosen by Greatis Software experts.

2)   Delete. User can delete an item from the list.

3)   Ignore. Adds an item to Ignore list.

A user can create a new backup at any time by choosing "Make Backup" item in the File menu.

By default the backup folder is located in "My Documents\RegRun2\Backup…"/

If you can’t delete it use RegRun Process Manager or consult support.
