Spybot-S&D 2.0 Beta 6 release thread

[bbnetwork]

i probably wont test beta 6, because "SDChrome has been removed" and im using Google-Chrome. so i will wait till next beta or final, when hopefully all Chrome-Clitches are solved and the Chrome-Extension is back.

"SDChrome has been removed; the web browser extensions will be rewritten using a more flexible concept". It will be released at least one more beta version before a RC/final version will be published/released. It will take some time to rewrite the extension.

Before I download it, is there a 'lite' version?

I do not need all the 'bells and whistles', just a decent on-demand malware scanner that does not install a lot of extraneous 'features' I will never use.

somehow i wonder, what the plan with all this betas is. the beta 6 now DONT have Live-Protection and DONT have SDChrome. it seems with each new beta the software dont get more or better, like it should, it seems to get rid of more and more functions. so whats tzhe plan for all this betas? get as much versions out to make it possible to hackers, to find solutions how to bypass it?

That's not exactly a surprise. First few betas were outright horrible for something that was developed for such a long time. It wouldn't be surprising if 90% of the program required a total rewrite to get it working at least acceptably. Taking into account the current and past speed of development, we will either get a cut down simplified version in a few months, or we will have to wait another 2 years for a full-blown release, or (hopefully not) another disaster.
