Distributed Testing, updated to 1.6 and leaving beta status

**PepiMK** · 2008-06-13, 12:15

As per our news announcement here, we've updated the Spybot-S&D Distributed Testing Client to version 1.6.

Download: in download portal

Next to the updated main application version, we've also added an option to allow you to view any of your scan results through your User CP right here on the forum, on a new My Scans page. This obviously only works if you've provided the email address during setup that you've used to register here, otherwise the forum won't be able to recognize you.

Running as a service in the background, you won't even notice it, but if you want to see what it has done and is doing, you can open a console with details.

Your help will be appreciated

Very initial runs... looks like it's playing OK with BOINC, WinXP Pro, 32b, on X3210 quad. I have another Windoze machine I can put this on if this one goes smoothly for a couple days. That one would be good as it's owned by my wife "The grand poo-baa of Virus and Spyware collection".

PS: very minor bug... The 'About' button on the console goes straight to UPDATE instead of showing the about box with the 'Update' button first.

Looks nice,
would be nice to understand better what does what.
Don't yet know what this 100% does but hopefully soon I'll understand more

Hello,

i have not found any configuration for proxy-server. Uses the client the internet explorer configuration to connect to the internet?
I'm not sure wether the client has a connection to the server.

????

Hello,

There is a small mistake with the french language. When I opened Sb&D to search an update it's write in english !!

fernandn · 2008-07-09, 21:07

Thanks for the correction but... Yes I am french and there is a but...

It will be better to have for "Search For Update" only "Mises à Jour". Like that the text will be completely legible. Thanks !

Proxy server would be for updates.

You can manually set the proxy server by using (make sure you are in "advanced" mode"): Settings > Settings > look for "automation" > "Web Update" > "Use proxy to connect to Update Server".

Tick and enter appropriate host and port (If the browser uses a proxy this info would be in the Tools > Options (depending upon your browser).

I am trying to convert to 1.6.0 but it isnt working. says there is a file error, (5) and is denying access. I am attempting to download it again from this site itself

I´m trying to use the software behind a proxy.
How can I configure this program to work behind a proxy?
I can´t find any settings for proxy in this program.

The normal program S&D 1.6.0.30 is working fine behind the firewall/proxy
(Settings in Adv.Mode).
