Vista error message

"there were problems in the include file - see include errors.log"

c:\Programfiles\spybot\includes\trojansC.sbi

I can't find the log file that was mentioned. Should I reinstall and if so do I have to change the compatibility mode? The OS is Vista. Thanks

Thank you. It worked like a champ. One other question. I never installed tea timer. Would you recommend it and how do I do that?
Thanks again.

I personally use TeaTimer. I would recommend using it provided that you understand the registry change portion of TeaTimer is not rule based and therefore asks you to decide all whether or not to allow or deny all changes to the registry keys it monitors. In other words you must decide if a registry change is good or bad and denying the wrong change you can adversely affect the stability, functionality and security of your system.

To activate TeaTimer:

• Go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced Mode > Tools > Resident.
• Check (if unchecked) the following item:
  
  • Resident "TeaTimer" (Protection of over-all system settings) Active.

If you decide to activate TeaTimer, please note the following:

There is currently a bug in TeaTimer 1.4. Portions of TeaTimer's popup dialog overlay the "Allow change" and "Deny change" buttons. On my system the very top edges of the "Allow change" button (on the left) and "Deny change" button (on the right) are showing and I am still able to select the options. I also can check "Remember this decision" since it is visible. If no portion of the "Allow change" and "Deny change" buttons are showing, you can answer TeaTimer's popup dialog (English language version) by pressing "A" on your keyboard for "Allow change" or "D" for "Deny change". Note: If you close the dialog without answering "Allow change" or "Deny change" the registry change is denied.

If you can't deal with the problem that way until it is fixed, you can:

1. Apply one of the workarounds found in the following pinned (Sticky) thread that fixes the pop-up dialog so the buttons are visible:

   There are three (3) fixes published in that thread. They are:

2. Disable TeaTimer as follows:
   • Go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced Mode > Tools > Resident.
   • Uncheck the following:
     • Resident "TeaTimer" (Protection of over-all system settings) Active.
   
   
   
3. There is also a beta test version of TeaTimer available that overcomes this problem. To download the ßTeaTimer 1.5:
   
   • Go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced mode > Settings > Settings.
   • Page down the option tree until you see a section titled "Web update" (just past half way down).
   • In the "Web update" section check the following option:
     
     • Display available beta versions.
   • Click Spybot-S&D (left pane).
   • Click Search for Updates (right pane).
   • When the list of available updates appears, check the following item:
     
     • ßTeaTimer 1.5 - !Resident protection update (1 MB) - 2007-02-14
   • Click Download Updates.
