    Immunization DOWN with beta??

    My 1.5.1.14 version on one computer immunizes against 97,000 plus problems. My 1.5.1.17 (beta) immunizes against 70,000 plus. Why the difference??

    Softpedia Spybot "Tools?"

    sbsdtools15beta is available at softpedia (1MB) in addition to spybot 1.5 beta (7MB). What are the tools? They don't seem to do anything. Said it installed teatimer but my teatimer doesn't work (disappears)??

    Teatimer disappears at startup!

    I strayed and went to Spyware TErminator for a while to see the results. Well, it lets a lot of spyware by. :-( So, I went back to Spybot 1.5 but Teatimer keeps showing at taskbar menu and then disappears. It is checked on msconfig so why does it disappear? I checked the processes (Task...

    Spyware Terminator AND Teatimer?

    Is it safe to use the real shield protection of Spyware Terminator (Crawler product) together with Teatimer?? If I have to shut Teatimer off, does that also turn the other Resident protections off, such as Hosts files?

    Hosts File Missing!

    The long lists of hosts files is missing. I tried to remove and then add and it says "system path can't be found...." (rough paraphrase). I uninstalled Spybot and reinstalled the 1.4 version. Still no luck. I upgraded to 1.5 beta. Nade. Why would it suddenly disappear, never to return?

    Spybot v. BOCLEAN?

    I really like Comodo Firewall and have added their Boclean 4.23 (a new acquisition from another company). How does it differ from Spybot teatimer? As I understand it, Boclean only takes action when a trojan on your computer tries to do something, then it cleans it. I have had trojans get by...

    Fatal "Systems Protection Error"

    I downloaded update to Spybot yesterday and now Teatimer is not working on boot up. I get a "Systems Protection Error." When I click on more info. it says Teatimer.exe is the culprit. I can't do anything with the computer and have to restart after taking teatimer off my startup list. Ugh. Is...

    New features: 1.4 vs. 1.5 beta??

    I've downloaded the 1.5 beta after running 1.4 for a while. I want to know what are the new features of 1.5?? *Heuristic detection (?) -- completely new? *Processes added -- HOW DOES THIS WORK? ?Hosts added too? One suggestion: If you peruse ratings site, Spybot takes a big hit on GUI...

    Am I Dreaming?

    I just selected all updates and 1.5 flashed across and then I rebooted. Now Teatimer is blacklisting 27,000 plus processes whereas before it was 1,000-plus!!! That's a BIG change. Is this 1.5? Or have I been infected? Please tell. I can't find sign on site. (I should have read the available...

    Can I get Beta 1.5?

    And how safe is it? (I know some software vendors mark their's as alpha, beta 1, beta 2, etc.).

    Need User Feedback: Trend Micro finds 107 HOST "spies?!"

    I enabled the host file protection and when my Trend Micro scanned it searched nearly 3,000 hosts files and labeled 107 "suspects" and high privacy threat. When I asked for more info. about each item, however, it said that not all hosts files are spyware. Gee, that's helpful. Is this a usual...

    Immunizations Increased?

    It has been a year or more since I used Spybot and now I'm back after flirting with other antispyware programs. The last time I installed it, Spybot claimed 2,000 or so immunizations and Spywareblaster another 1700 (I'm working from memory). When I installed Spybot this past week, the number...

    Windows Defender Not So Great

    Keep in mind Webroot came out with this but... http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,128660-page,1/article.html I'm going to use a dummy computer and leave WD on and either a) surf the web; and/or b) leave the firewall off.

    Spybot #1--Preferred Backup Program?

    If people use Spybot as their #1 antispyware program (for prevention and scanning), what do people use as their #2 (no pun intended)? It seems almost everyone has more than one antispyware program on their computer, so I wondered what the experts (you guys and gals) use as backup?
