I think the good inscription should be :

"Appliquez la protection passive"
 
new beta

just downloaded an installed the new beta-38, an it works fine, no problems. another great spy bot program. thank-you!
 
I demand my money back.

Why?

I downloaded 1.6.1.38, installed it over the latest release version, restarted the computer, updated the files, etc., and ran Spybot.

So?

Well, everything worked correctly.

So?

That left me with not a single thing to complain about.

So?

What fun is it when you do everything right, you actually FAIL to charge for the product, and I'm left with nothing to but to request a full refund?

So?

Well, instead of looking forward to complaining, carping, puling, etc., all I can do is post a "Thank You", even though you've ruined my day....

And?

Oh, okay, Thank You!
 
I can't install this version... CMD windows says the program is too big to run in memory... this should be a joke :sad:

Note: I couldn't edit the previous post... so I had to create this one...
 
I have just installed this on my Vista Home Premium SP1 Machine and so far everything is good Except for 2 Minor graphical glitches on the Immunize screen. The word "Unprotected" has half of the letter "U" missing and when the "Disable Visual Themes" option in the Shortcut Compatibility menu is ticked, the IE icons get corrupted and "Opera" icons apear behind the IE ones and IE apears behing the "Global Hosts" Icon.

See the Attached Screenshot for Details.

I've just remembered another bug, After I installed the latest Beta all the Spybot icons turned into the Windows default "No Assinged Program" icons. Spybot still works with the blank icons they just look unsightly and it can take a few icon changes to get the origionals to stick!

So far all the bugs I've found have been purely cosmetic and are in no way serious, they are just unsightly.
 
Thanks, the immunization thing has been fixed :)

The Recycler is a "special folder", not a real one. On the one hand, we could change the registry to not show it there maybe, on the other hand it would be much nicer to get feedback on the new right-click solution, but without feedback on it, I'm not hurrying and going to put that into 1.6.1 ;)

As for the icons, that's not the cause here, all icons are fine and as expected. Maybe just an icon cache thing? Have noticed Explorer sometimes hickups on file icons when they're replaced and the icon cache is full.

Click to expand...

I must be missing something - what new right click solution?
The scan from the recycle bin right click menu does open a scan screen but always appears to have no items in it, and the status Scan finished. (XP-Home SP3, Spybot 1.6.1.38)
Are you looking for feedback that it doesn't work, or on something else?
 
Thanks PepiMK,

OK some feedback,
First I personally had not experienced any problems with the SDFiles.exe that preceded 1.6.1.7, and none with 1.6.1.7 either, (except perhaps the synchronisation of the progress bar relative to the actual scan progress)possibly because I was using it on XP-Home SP3.

I downloaded and installed SDCon32.dll (1.0.0.14), and it replaced the SDFiles item in the right click context menu.

About the three options.

Scan file
If I right click on specific file, then select Scan file, it scans the file, the results are presented correctly, also the two headings.

If I right click on a subdirectory (folder) then Select file, it scans the files in the folder, again presents them correctly, no duplicates in each section and the progress bar seems to be relatively in sync with the actual progress.

One thing I did find, the scan panel does not always come up on top, and is some times hidden under the explorer screen. (I haven't yet had a chance to see if I can tie down the condition for this to occur), however when it does occur, and if one doesn't notice the extra Spybot-SD "icon" that appears in the lower bar, and repeats the right click - scan file, then there will be duplicates seen in the panel when it is brought into view. That said it still completes the scan OK

Shred file
If I right click on a specific file, then select Shred file, when the panel opens, it does not already have that file in the list, nor does it default to the current subdirectory when the add function is used. When the file has been shredded, the status does change to done but the bottom button still says Chop it away, with the only exit via File/Exit or the red cross. I guess this does allow for further files to be added and shredded, but I was kind of expecting the Chop it away to change to Finish or Exit once the task had been done, and perhaps it could be made so, reverting back to Chop it away if further new files were added.

Full system scan
All that happened when I chose this is that it started the Spybot Program - Not a scan, the main program itself. What was meant to happen?

I hope these coments are of some use.

I keep having this issue in XP SP3 but in Vista SP1 installed perfectly...

Translation: "Program too long to put it in memory"
