    Smile Spybot-S&D 2.0 Beta 5 release thread

    Spybot-S&D 2.0 Beta 5 just got released!

    This release has important subsurface improvements:

    • We have revised the Uninstaller.
    • Memory consumption during scans has been optimized.
    • The detection criteria were improved and now detect more malicious files.
    • Extended logging is now easier to understand.


    See our our official release announcement for more details and download links.

    Please help with beta-testing so Spybot-S&D 2.0 final will be rock stable.

    You may use this thread for general comments about the beta release, please open new threads if you like to discuss specific issues.

    Seems about the same to me.

    I will continue to advocate for a 'lite' version that does not have all the extraneous modules.

    I would also ask that the "Immunize" function check for duplicate entries in the hosts file, rather than simply adding entries and uselessly increasing the size of the hosts file.

    Uninstalled for now.

    Awaiting the next version.

    I agree. Here's a concept another came up with sometime ago.

    http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?&t=63599

    Regarding the hosts file, does it allow to optimize the hosts file, by placing 9 entries per line, and change the IP to 0.0.0.0? (I've been unable to test Spybot, since I lost my other laptop.)

    As long as improvements' getting made, and installer getting smaller, I'm satisfied.

    My scan simply fails to run and has now been 'not responding' for more than an hour!
