Spybot-S&D 1.6, beta 2

[PepiMK]

Download link: spybotsd160-beta2.exe

Changes: see project tools; for example:

• Need option to disable temp folder cleaning
• Avoid Administrator warning dialog when being non-admin
• Warnings on installing over 1.5.2 version
• Explorer propery sheet plugin: option during installation
• Skins not loading in latest beta
• When fixing a huge list of scan results, DelZip179.dll may cause problems

As well as a few bugs (e.g. in detection in "Download Directories").

Still outstanding: Firefox 3 support (next beta/RC), possible ~ 400,000 TeaTimer auto-decisions (based on this), and New 1.6 feature "topic two".

Arg, sorry for the progress bar in updater problem
I have read about it before, even thought I had fixed it, but forgot that the form is resized during operation, again to the value that is too small.

As for the button, I did forward that to mavchen (well, actually I asked him to see what is missing in any localization).

Okay, here's the latest scan times from my wifes' and my computers' after d/l'ing beta2 1.6.0.26, un-installing beta1, re-starting and re-installing on both:

Compaq Presario, Win XP Pro SP3, 32-bit AMD Athlon Processor 1.3GHz, 1 GB RAM - 7'09"

Win XP Home, SP3 64-bit w/ an Athlon 64 Processor 3800+, 2G B of RAM (yeah, I bought more RAM for the wifes' computer since apparently I'll be using it frequently for testing! ) - 4'20"

I'm thinkin' that when I did my previous checks on beta1, I didn't have the "usage tracking" options set to "on" like I do now on both).

And both figures given are using SpyBots' timer in the lower left-hand corner of the screen. No problems encountered. Pete

Installation went fine, except for one typo so far:



In setup, it says 'Spybot-S&&D File Eraser' when it should be 'Spybot-S&D File Eraser'

Well this is bizarre...

Earlier today I upgraded to the new beta 2 (1.6.0.26).

Back when I was using 1.5 I manually created a scheduled task to run the following:

"C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\SDUpdate.exe" /autoupdate /autoclose /taskbarhide

every Thursday at 8:00 PM CST. I never removed that when upgrading to the first beta and it has just been working fine.

But when it ran today (for the first time since upgrading to beta 2), it didn't just check for definition updates like usual. It apparently downloaded the Spybot 1.5.2.20 installer and launched it - meaning I was prompted with the 1.5.2.20 setup panel shortly after 8 PM!

I think that behavior may need to be corrected...

Just FYI, it doesn't happen any more. Now if I run the task it just works normally. It only prompted me to install the 1.5 code the first time it auto-ran through Scheduled Tasks after upgrading from beta 1 to beta 2.

Freaked me out pretty good for a moment there.

Genau wie Asus L3500 TP verweise ich auf einen bereits vorhandenen Eintrag:

seeing how quickly it did the scan including the HOSTS file I didn't bother testing without.

It still opens on the setup page every time I open Spybot though.

From the beta 1's post :

But the behaviour you described is intentional. Some people want the window to need as few clicks as possible (left side button), some want more action (other button).
Options are still available from the regular settings screen, or if you run the updater from Spybot-S&D's start menu group

In the two buttons automatically open the window to select the update server.
It doesn't give enough time to be able to choose the beta updates or the other languages update
In beta 2, too.

Sorry for my english.
