Is this a problem with my computer or are you having some problems ? Thank you.

I just changed the Proxy setting to " Specify proxy settings manually ", the Error message has gone, both bars are green, but this is what I get in the lower box.

Still seems to be problems with the info file. I'm on Windows 7 with your free version. On my desktop , a Spybot icon has appeared; Post Win 10 Spybot Install, File Version 2.5.43.0, 08-08-2015, 802 KB. Should I remove, delete or uninstall ? Thank you.

Hello kiwi41,

Sorry, I must have posted this to someone else. :red:

Spybot 2.5 Prompt – Post Windows 10 Spybot-install

"If you have installed Spybot recently, you may have noticed the appearance of a “Post Windows 10 Spybot-install” file on your Desktop after installation.

What is it?


This file was included in our updates for users upgrading to Windows 10. During the upgrade process, Spybot is likely to be uninstalled. It can be reinstalled by running this file, which will survive the upgrade process.
If this method does not work for you, please see here for reinstallation instructions (https://www.safer-networking.org/faq/windows-10-removed-spybot/).

What do I do with it?


If you do not plan to upgrade to Windows 10, this file can be deleted. You can get this file back if you need to by reinstalling Spybot.
You can also delete the folder:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\AV\Spybot – Search and Destroy
If you do plan to upgrade to Windows 10, or already have, you can run this file to install Spybot 2.5. Changes have been made to this version of Spybot to improve compatibility.If this does not work, please see here (https://www.safer-networking.org/faq/windows-10-removed-spybot/) for instructions to reinstall Spybot."

https://www.safer-networking.org/faq/prompt-post-windows-10-spybot-install/ (https://www.safer-networking.org/faq/prompt-post-windows-10-spybot-install/)


I will ask our team about the "Info file part done" question.

Hello kiwi41, :greeting:

My gosh sorry it took so long.

Apparently "Info file part done" doesn't mean only part of the file was downloaded, but rather that this action had been completed.

:flowers:

[kiwi41]

No problems . Many thanks for the advice.

Cheers,

kiwi
