I recently installed Internet Explorer 8 and the Spybot add-ons look different. The manage add-ons screen shows Spybot-SD - IE Protection - BHO from Safer Networking. It also lists, as 'not available', Spybot-Search & Destroy Configuration - browser extension.
The HKLM\...\Windows\Current Version\Explorer\BHO registry key has a subkey that starts with 53707962, which is associated with SDHelper. There is also a key in HKLM\...\Internet Explorer\Extensions that starts with DFB852A3, which has, among others, a value ClsidExtension 53707962... I could find no other reference to DFB852A3... in the registry.
Spybot-Search Destroy Configuration is in the Tools menu and seems to work fine. Do I need to remove or change one of those registry keys to make IE8 happy?
The add-ons screen under IE6 with the same registry entries showed two normal looking entries for Spybot.
Thanks,
Fran
