View Full Version : Differences in two 1.4 installations
I have Spybot S&D 1.4 on two laptops. One installation has been in place for months but one was downloaded and installed today. If I go to Settings>Settings I see in the old installation: Active X, BHO, Browser pages and Hosts. In today's download none of these is present. Is this correct or do I have a dodgy download? Both "About" screens show 1.4 with the same latest definitions (Dec 15).

I am not really sure what differences you are trying to describe. You mentioned:
If I go to Settings>Settings I see in the old installation: Active X, BHO, Browser pages and Hosts.
If you are going into Spybot > Mode > Advanced mode > Settings > Settings, you will get an options tree for the internal settings for Spybot-S&D. Under the "Bug Report" there are settings to "Include ActiveX list in report" and "Include BHO list in report"
On the other hand if you go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced mode > Tools, the icons displayed in the left hand pane are controlled by the items checked in the right hand pane. The default for the display in the left hand pane (checked in the right hand pane) as far as I know are:
View Report
Secure Shredder
Resident
IE tweaks
System Internals
System Startup
Uninstall info
Winsock LSPs
To bring up the other items that are displayed in the right hand pane but do not have corresponding icons in the left hand pane click on (or in some cases double click on) the item in the right hand pane.
If you check an item in the right hand pane its icon will appear as an item in the left hand pane for selection.
Thanks. I think that I know now what's happened. I'll check tomorrow when I have both computers running.
Forget it! I'm afraid that it was a bit of bad observation on my part. I'll clean my specs. Thanks, anyway.
