I'm very concerned re changes to my system when I updated for Spybot S&D v 1.6 recently.
During the installation of v1.6 from Safer-Networking, the process did not go to completion - got a Code 5 (deletion of about 3-4 files failed - access denied. It made reference to file TCPIP_Address.dll).
Then, I D/L'd v1.6 from CNET, because of the above problem,
I uninstalled v1.5, then installed v 1.6.
Updates since then from Safer-Networking have D/L'd much slower than previously was the case.
Also the number of files in the system increased by almost 100,000 about the time of the install.
I also note that I have 2 lines in Add/Remove Programs for Spybot
- a module 11.63 MB in size (v 1.5.2.20) and
- a module 36.98MB in size
I waited a couple of weeks before trying the install on a second computer, but had much the same result – got an ‘access denied’ warning during installation.
Am I missing something here?
Have the update files changed in format? After updating a couple of days ago, it currently appears that there are 10 files to be downloaded – with the ‘Most Up-to-date detections’ 1 MB in size – dated 2008-09-03.
Is there something I can check to make sure I got a proper copy of the program & that it is functioning correctly?
The Program Files\Spybot S&D folder shows the current SpybotSD.exe to be size 4,891,984 bytes v 1.6 July 30, 2008.
Also, is v 1.5 still supported – I might have to revert to it for a while.
Many Thanks in advance for your help.
