Is this a bug or am I just being dumb?
Hi all,
I just loaded up Spybot-S&D 2.0 Beta 4 and ran it. Everything looked good except when I got to the Fix screen there was no way to click on any of the problems. (The check boxes don't work.) Even when I try to run the fix without marking any and it asks me if I want to run on "all" - it still doesn't happen.
I've attached a screen shot, in case that is useful.
Am I just being dumb or could this be a bug?

P.S. I also couldn't find a 'start new thread' link, so I hope using reply is okay. Maybe it's just been a long day. ;)
A little slow, may not have elevated privledges?
I just installed the beta on a new laptop. Here are the few things I noticed.
I didn't think to update before scanning. It might be good to include an automatic update or a dialog box to suggest an update after install and before first scan.
At the end of the scan, I saw error dialog at the bottom indicating that it could not create/save the log file. This sort of acted like a hung process. Only way to proceed was to close the scan.
I know I read somewhere that the app can (will?) request privilege elevation, but that did not happen in my case. No dialog box, and probably running with "base" admin authority.
I also got the error reported by others saying that updated files could not be saved. However, when I hit the update button again, it appeared to successfully update.
One other note, I did not reboot or log off after installing. I would hope that would not have an impact on privileges, but just in case...
