Thank you, Sandra and drragostea.

Was in a rush and unintentionally allowed 1.6.2 to install along with the latest detections. I got the "read only retry" option for a file and finally had to abort. I downloaded a fresh copy of...

My thanks and appreciation for your reply post and the information re the Hosts file duplicates and quadruplicates. I apologize for not responding sooner, but I was out-of-town...

I was relieved to read the information posted about no new immunizations. I was concerned after downloading 4/30 detection updates that for the 2nd week in a row no immunization was required.

Now...

Hi Sandra --I appreciate your prompt response.

My usual practice has always been to properly uninstall the old version, remove leftover files, and do a clean install of the new.....this is what I...

ADDENDUM: I found 5 or 6 files in C:\Program Files\Spybot Search and Destroy\Updates that were by name associated with 1.5.2 which I am holding in the Recycle Bin, plus mainapps152.zip and online...

Earlier today, using the updater, I installed the 02/06 definitions, but did not choose to use the option to upgrade to 1.5.2.20 from current 1.5.1.16 at that time. Several hours later, using...

PepiMK -- My thanks for the clarification and replies to my questions. It all makes sense now. I have lots of room on my hard drive so I am not concerned about "wasted space".

But why 20MB on...

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Applircation Data
36.4 MB.

So...am I having a blonde moment or what :scratch:

Miki

Add/Remove shows Spybot Search & Destroy as 20.15 MB. How weird is that!

I have always removed all traces from the registry and otherwise for each new version.

Miki

Most welcome. My indecision is based on the fact that unless the Hallowe'en Beta .17 is just the installer, the file is only 8.42 MB and not large enough to be a full version.

Miki

Thank you......that's just the way I am, too :) Whenever there is an option, I like to do a clean install. However, I was not sure if the Hallowe'en Beta was a complete version or just a fix for the...

I have not seen a reply on the forum to DrDemento's question? Did I miss it? I have Version 1.5.1.15 with the slow loading problem. I downloaded the Hallowe'en version, but before installing need to...
