You probably shoot at me for asking this, can we set spybot to scan the
specific drive/folders etc.TIA
 
Nope, can't shoot you - I ran out of bullets earlier today. :)

Are you referring to Spybot Search& Destroy? Their support forums are here:
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/support/index.html

If you've referring to the MS Antispyware Beta - Open up the Spyware Scan
applet - and on the left hand side will be "Scan Options". Click on that and
there's an option to let you specify files/folders to scan.

From Spybot-S&D HELP...

[[Choosing what to scan (file sets)
Spybot-S&D uses the concept of Include Files to make it more flexible. Each
Include File is a file containing the description of some problems that
Spybot-S&D can detect and fix.

These files are divided into categories, so you can select what you want to
target during your scan.

The basic categories are "Spybots" (which contains the includes for spyware
and adware) and Usage tracks. For each category you may see Include Files
with a short description on what they do, and the number of files, registry
entries and directories that will be checked.

You can select which Include Files to use for your next scan by toggling the
checkbox next to them.

If you see an Include File in italic letters, then it is one not originating
from PepiMK Software. As the Include File format is public, anyone may write
Include Files. But Include Files can do a lot of harm to your system, and
PepiMK Software can't guarantee a foreign Include File, so you will be asked
whether you are really sure you want to use the file if it is not from
PepiMK Software.

You can find the file sets settings by choosing File sets from the Settings
section in the toolbar to the left.]]

[[Setting the download directories
Some scans do also target the installer files of problems detected by
Spybot-S&D. Installers that the user must explicitly start downloading will
only be scanned for in the directories entered into this list.

You can either use Drag and Drop to drop some directories from an Explorer
window, or use the context menu to add or remove directories to or from the
list.

You can find the download directories settings by choosing Directories from
the Settings section in the toolbar to the left.]]
