Updater warning message.

[Rubberkitty]

I can confirm that setting spybot to run in compatibilty mode (XP SP2) that the message no longer appears on Vista x64.
I will also report back when updates are available and see what happens.

Do you (who have this problem on Vista) have UAC disabled?

i can update now with out the error message in XP SP2 mode, however there are no newer updates available, maybe ill wait a week and see what happens.

Yes, but can you can you hit the stop scan button during a spyware scan of your PC?

nope was a fluke, it only worked that one time, nwo when i put it to xp compatibiltiy it will still do the "please select a file form teh blah blah blah"

however i havent had any problem stopping a scan without freezing up (program or os)

Can you stop an in-progress scan without spybot locking up?

I started a scan and was able to stop it with out problem. Normally I have a scheduled scan so hadn't tried this before.

With compatibilty mode setting (XP SP2) Spybot updated normally and does not give the warning message "Please select some update files from the list first.".

I shut off compatibility mode and reran spybot and the message returned.
So there is some definate compatibilty issue with the updater or spybot.

Just a heads up, the compatibility prompt has to do with Lavasoft's AdAware, not really the updater.
