Hi, I am still running 1.3 I was wondering if I was to download 1.4(when UI did a ceck for updates it was there) should I remove 1.3 first or install over it? I don't want to have junk on my cp,
Is it going to change my settings?

Unless you are running Windows 95 you should upgrade to Spybot-S&D 1.4.
To upgrading to Spybot 1.4. There are four (4) download sites for Spybot-S&D 1.4 here:

Most of the internal settings of Spybot-S&D are contained in the Configuration.ini file. The Configuration.ini file is stored in one of the following folders:
Windows 95 or 98:
C:\Windows\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy
Windows ME:
C:\Windows\All Users\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy
Windows NT, 2000 or XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy
If you do not delete that folder most of the settings from your Spybot-S&D 1.3 installation should be retained during the installation of Spybot-S&D 1.4.
Install Spybot-S&D 1.4:
Execute spybotsd14.exe download above.
Do not change the default installation path of:C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy
Make sure that you update Sptbot-S&D 1.4 before running a scan.
********************
Note: If you upgrade Spybot-S&D 1.4 and use TeaTimer be aware of the following:
There is currently a bug in TeaTimer 1.4. Portions of TeaTimer's popup dialog overlay the "Allow change" and "Deny change" buttons. On my system the very top edges of the "Allow change" button (on the left) and "Deny change" button (on the right) are showing and I am still able to select the options. I also can check "Remember this decision" since it is visible. If no portion of the "Allow change" and "Deny change" buttons are showing, you can answer TeaTimer's popup dialog (English language version) by pressing "A" on your keyboard for "Allow change" or "D" for "Deny change". Note: If you close the dialog without answering "Allow change" or "Deny change" the registry change is denied.
If you can't deal with the problem that way until it is fixed, you can:
Apply one of the workarounds found in the following pinned (Sticky) thread that fixes the pop-up dialog so the buttons are visible:

Uncheck the following:Resident "TeaTimer" (Protection of over-all system settings) Active.
There is also a beta test version of TeaTimer available that overcomes this problem.
