Command Line Parameters

[magno101]

I have tried the command line parameters found at

http://www.safer-networking.org/en/faq/30.html

But I have found they don't seem to do anything when run on v 1.5.2.20. The listed SpybotSD.exe has been replaced by sdmain.exe and the command line parameters don't seem to do anything when used with sdmain.exe. Are there different command line parameters?

Thanks in Advance.

Incorrect assumption, SpybotSD.exe has not been replaced by SDMain.exe!

The Command Line Parameters listed for SpybotSD.exe still work with SpybotSD.exe.

Thank you very much for your response. I cannot find any SpybotSD.exe on my computer. The only exe's in the folder are:

blindman.exe
SDDelfile.exe
SDMain.exe
SDWinSec.exe
unins000.exe
Update.exe

I have tried the /commands on the SDMain.exe file, but they don't seem to be doing anything for me. The spybot window opens up, but none of the processes that I choose actually happen.

In Spybot 1.5.2 some of Spybot's executables are hidden as protected operating system files. To see them:
Using Windows Explorer navigate to:
C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy
In the Tools menu select Folder Options…
In the Folder Options dialog select the View tab.
Under the "Hidden files and folders" options:
Make sure "Show hidden files and folders" is selected.
Not "Do not show hidden files and folders".
Uncheck the following option:
Hide protected operating system file (Recommended)
Click the Apply button.
Click the OK button.
The files should now be displayed
Note: If you uncheck the "Hide protected operating system file (Recommended)" option to view Spybot's executables, I suggest that you return the option to its original setting when you are done.

Ah! That's it! Help much appreciated. Perhaps a note in the FAQ would be helpful. I never even thought to look for hidden files.

As always, thanks so much for the help.
