Hi Everybody
Am new to the forum , However, a lonnng time Spybot S&D user and enjoy the program.... have been for years now .
I have a few issues that I need some assistance with , Thanks in advance for your input/advice.
OK ... Here it goes ...
(1) I am running W/98SE , DELL puter ... yessss I am still running 98SE , However, on just one puter ... have 2 others ... New HP's which have the Windows Vista Home Premium OS , my prob is with the puter that runs 98SE ...
I upgraded to version 1.52 on the puter which runs 98SE and the other puters are new HP's so I installed 1.52 on them as well with no probs , However, on the 98SE the program often crashes when I attempt to open and run it , However, it does run after a fresh boot ... when I get it to run I can do everything but immunize because the immunize requires Administrators rights and of course on the W/98SE OS there are none ... the Administrators Rights is a new Vista thing ...
**First question is how can I immunize in version 1.52 on 98SE and / or get past the Administrators rights thing ??
** (2) Next question is this ...
Somehow even tho I have my puter protected via Spybot and via IE to be unable to hijack and change my pre-set default home page , a very pushy Microsoft "Get it now" page with the URL : http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/ie/getitnow.mspx , has in fact managed to overpower my settings and my default homepage is now that URL page and I cannot change it back.
When the page noted above was attempting to make the change I got the usual/normal spybot pop up asking if I would allow or Deny the change I clicked DENY and it changed it anyway ???
Odd thing is this ... When I go into tools internet options etc ... and look my preset default homepage URL is STILL listed in that box and not the microsoft URL noted above ???
I have tried re-entering my preset page in IE tools and clicking apply and OK the the spybot page pops up and ask if I will allow the change ... I click Allow and the popup says Registry change allowed , but it does not change back ... I get another smaller pop-up box that says ( trying to remember exactly ... I may not be exact but willl be close ) ... "according to my blacklist rules my change is not allowed "., ??? and the new microsoft page is still there ???
What do I do here ???
(3) I gather that the new spybot S&D version of 1.52 is not fully compatible with W/98SE , therefore is there a way I can uninstall this version 1.52 on the W/98SE puter and go back to version 1.51 which works great on W/98SE and I had no probs with or can I just re-install version 1.51 and overwrite 1.52 ???
OH and 4th and Final ...
Referring back to number 2 up there about the blacklist ... how does one open up this blacklist and view it ... can that be done ???
Again , Thanks for The Input / Advice .
