Thanks,
smooth update, but immunizations count was 39615 before and 39591 after the
update; probably one of those rare situations, occurring once in a while.
Any ideas why?

Harry.

I've been working with (read: "fighting with") this latest update to V 1.5
on my ME machine and have decided to remove it and fall back to V 1.4.
First, it takes forever to load, maybe two minutes; then it requests
"administrator privilege" to allow complete checking and won't allow a full
immunization without it. Checking takes much longer and appears to "stall
out" numerous times while doing so. I have noticed that others have
experienced much the same difficulty which they attribute to AVG, but I'm
not using AVG. Fortunately, I had saved the version 1.4 .exe and could
easily fall back.

The upgrade to V 1.5 was a disaster here.

Sorry to hear (read) about your troubles with Spybot 1.5, Ken.
It does load quite a bit slower than the previous version, but otherwise
functions much better, especially with immunizations. Your "administrator"
issue may have something to do with your settings, maybe someone else can
enlighten you on that.
My memory fails me at the moment in this regard.
Except for the the slow loading phase I like the newer version much better.
That's a personal view, of course.

Harry.

A question: in the Spybot protection lists there are boxes for IE 32 and
boxes for IE 32/64. Should you check all of those, or only the IE32
(since I do not have a 64 bit program)? And what about the Global Host
at the bottom? Check it??

Thanks
Richard

Mine came already checked with the installation of the new version and I
didn't bother unchecking any of them. But one probably could, if one
preferred not to have the item scanned. I have 'Global Hosts', no IE32 nor
IE32/64.
Any questions 'above our head' can be taken up in their forum.
The present count for immunizations in ME is 40775, after the last update,
announced by Delboy.

Harry.

Hi, Richard,

I have the options selected in both IE groups. If you notice, the
entries are redundant and appear to be writing to different parts of the
registry. I'm assuming the IE 32/64 bit group is applicable to both 32
and 64 bit systems whereas the 32 bit group is only for a 32 bit system.

As for the Global (Hosts) option, I clear this. If you select it, it
inserts the Spybot Hosts entries into your HOSTS file. I use the MVPS
Hosts file and prefer not to have the Spybot entries appended to it.

Re: Spybot Update, 9/5/07

Sorry to hear the trouble you went thru. As the *boys* here know, I
usually wait a couple of weeks at least before putting any new versions
of ANYTHING on this machine. Never did update to the new Spybot.

Normal female caution?? Or too used to my old WinME getting mucked up
by that sort of thing.

You will notice I did not say one word about *boys and their toys* or
*must be the first on the block to get that*.......LOL. I would never
say that about you guys......(cough)

Cheers....Heather

Re: Spybot Update, 9/5/07

Those IE entries are missing in my selection, Tom.
'You have any idea why?

Re: Spybot Update, 9/5/07

Harry,

If you're using Spybot 1.5, click Immunize and you'll see the entries on
the Immunize page. If you're using 1.4, this information is not available.

Re: Spybot Update, 9/5/07


I am using v.1.5, but those entries are not present.
May have an idea, why not: somewhere in the settings I have IE unchecked
twice.
Since it's my preference, I'll leave it that way.
Thanks Tom.

Harry.
