Bare. :laugh:
Of course, Sandra! :cowboy: It'd be interesting to see how Spybot's anti-virus performs. Is the virus signature engine and database in-house like Spybot's well established malware database?
The recommendation I made in 2009 of Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) has since changed. In recent months MSE has been underperforming in a number of anti-virus tests such as AV-Comparatives (PC...

Hi I_dream_of_Mercury,
From my experience the most reliable clients for individual protocols are the clients made for those protocols i.e. Windows Live Messenger for MSN. There's no better way of...
The open-source client Pidgin sounds like it would suit your needs well. ;)

Hi Lupei,
Sorry you've been having trouble. Please see this thread. ;)
Best regards,
Hi rebel3229,
Yes - The products shown in the bottom status bar during a scan are what Spybot is looking for.
Some information about Virtumonde:

Since you do not want Spybot to launch at start-up, disabling the Spybot entry in msconfig was the right thing to do. If you use Spybot's resident protection module aka Teatimer, then make sure that...
Hi Wifey,
To exclude a detection from Spybot, please follow the instructions in this 'How To' article:
How to exclude products from the search
Oh I see where's there been a misunderstanding! Spybot-S&D resident aka Teatimer. :clown:
For clarity, when you say the resident Teatimer went "crazy", what do you exactly mean?
Hi rivermandave,
I think Zenobia was referring to the Teatimer icon in your system tray. :bigthumb:
Hi rebel3229,
If Spybot asked you if you wanted to run Spybot on next start-up, presumably after not being able to remove the infection without a reboot, then Spybot should only run at start up a...
Hi magicman,
I have found in the past that sometimes Spybot's immunisation becomes "stuck" and that this can be easily remedied by simply clicking 'Undo' and then performing another immunisation....
Hi MonkeyKong,
Since your brother appears to be a computer novice, I'd recommend he install Microsoft Security Essentials rather than the more advanced anti-virus applications suggested by...
I've had no problems dual booting various OSes in the past. If Windows is one of operating systems in the mix, I find using the 'Boot' tab in msconfig.exe is the easiest way to manage the booting of...
No problem, my pleasure! :thanks:
Hi barb0510,
After clicking on 'Manage Attachments', click the 'Choose...' button - an Windows explorer browse window will open; just select the file you want to attach. Afterwards simply click...

Hi barb0510,
If it's not too much trouble please could you try and take a screenshot of the problem. After making and saving the screenshot, just attach it to a new post to this thread. :cowboy:

Hi jonny109,
I'm sorry my method didn't work for you. You may have more luck by using this tiny (34kb) portable utility from NirSoft called ShellMenuView which will help you locate the entry and...
Hi jonny109,
You are right to start a new thread for an unrelated topic. :bigthumb:
Do you know why it failed? Did you receive any error messages or anything of that kind?
Since this...
I've also searched Toshiba's website and could not find anywhere to download the software so I reach a conclusion where the software most likely comes pre-installed on specific computers or comes on...
Thanks for the confirmation Tashi. :thanks:
It appears that my previous assumption that all members can create a blog is wrong. I logged into an account created for a friend's previous malware problems, then roamed through every menu and could...
Hi magnus,
I think all members have the privilege to create a forum blog. :bigthumb:
I'm sure if you explore the 'Blogs' menu you'll find a link to creating your own should you want to.

Hi hannahj,
Depends on many factors including where you live - for example, if you live in the city more people are likely to be in range of your network thus increasing the risk of someone trying...
Hi jlmacd,
To clarify jonnas_tan's point, conflicts may occur if you run more than one active protection real time scanners at a time. Having multiple anti-spyware applications running as...
No problem, glad I could help. :)
To my understanding, that installation screen is an update - a major program update from your current version of Spybot (1.6.0.30) to the latest version (1.6.2).
Update to the latest version and...
Happy New Year everyone! (only a couple of days late, still recovering :coffee:)

Hi TR098,
Making 'XP look like Mac' is definately a popular request and therefore is a subject widely discussed on the 'net. If you do a search for 'make xp look like mac os x', you'll receive...
Hi PirateKnight,
Did you use the program? If so, how? (e.g. "performed an update, then a scan")
May I ask how Spybot is still on your computer if it has been uninstalled? :cool:

Windows 7 comes with DirectX v11 and the version number you saw in the registry also coincides with v11, although the best way to check what version you have is to run 'dxdiag.exe'.
It does seem...
The only conflict that I can think of would be between Teatimer (Spybot's active resident client) and either of the programs you updated/installed.
Try turning off Teatimer and see if you receive...

Hi Jcdteen,
You can always backup your old hostfile (just rename it to 'HOSTSBACKUP' for example) before copying a new one from the link given by Spybotnorma. :bigthumb:

Good to see you back. :D:

Hi Mandoleer,
The instructions you followed has an omission. When in Folder Options, make sure you uncheck 'Hide protected operating system files (recommended)' as well as making sure 'Show...
Hi nelmorr13,
Just the fact that the tool is a piece of software and no piece of software runs flawlessly every time. :cool:

That's a good tip in general, Hamburger. :)
When installing a new software firewall, make sure you turn off Windows firewall to avoid conflicts.

Hi Tom,
Personally I would try using a more feature-packed instant messaging client rather than an add-on because AFAIK Windows Live Messenger does not have a specific framework for developing...
