Strange things happened to me when I downloaded and installed this version:
I got some kind of typecast error, when I tried to download the updates and
quickly reinstalled my former version, but when I updated that one, I wound
up with version 1.5.2.20 and everything is working properly. Now I'm
up-to-date, thanks to you, Alias and according to Dave we can look forward
to a newer version. Only one more thing: my older version had more
immunizations than this one, how come?
Thanks,

Harry.

I don't profess to know what the heck I am talking about, but, when this
thread first started, I did a simple Google search for "kernall32.dll" and
found loads of stuff....a lot of which concerned some nasty backdoor trojan.
I know this is not a system file, however, the link above with replies from
Noel Patton found a problem in a system.ini file being corrupt.

Other hits in Google go into more detail of the trojan and the spelling is
correct, it has nothing to do with the system file <kernel32.dll>. Maybe a
false alarm, maybe a red flag....don't know.....JTTH.
Heirloom, old and got the A/C running!!
 
Re: spybot question

nellie:
If you were following all the threads in this post, you know by now that the
latest version is 1.5.2.20, not 1.5.1.17. V.1.4.. would probably serve the
same purpose, but personally I like to be 'up-to-date' and all indications
are, that the latest version is compatible with WinME, even though a little
maneuvering on my part was necessary.
As far as the "trick" is concerned, please, ignore it since I can't
recollect any details of it.
The download for v.1.5.2.20 can be obtained on this website, among others:

Hope you are successfull in your endeavors and that the "kernall32.dll" was
a smoke screen.
In case of any occurring problems you may want to consider following Alias'
advice.

Harry.

either XP or Vista.
