    Default TCP/Ip Plug In

    Hi

    I noticed in the last update i had a box to tick for the TCP/Ip plug in, i ticked it, but i am not sure what it does.

    I know it is silly to allow things you are not sure of, but i figured if you can't trust here where can you trust

    One more thing at the momment i am not using tea timer, but i always download any update for it. So when i do decide to use tea timer i am up to date , will this cause a problem.

    Please bare with me as i am not the sharpest tool in the shed

    Cheers Pedropete

    That update is the same as the one discussed here:

    The TCP/IP settings plugin enables Spybot to use new rules which can detect IP addresses entered by malware and exchange them with non harmful entries.

    Further plugins will enable Spybot to increase its set of rules and rule parameters without the need for a new main update. Thus the plugins make Spybot more flexible.

    JohnCorbin:

    The "TCP/IP Settings plugin" appears to be just an unregistered dll file (TCPIPAddress.dll) that was placed in the following location:
    • C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Plugins

    The TCPIPAddress.dll only appears to load with SpybotSD.exe and therefore should not have any affect on anything except Spybot – Search & Destroy (SpybotSD.exe) when you are running it.

    Move the file to another location and rename it if you think it is a problem, but I think you're looking in the wrong place for the cause of your problem.

    Hi...

    Whenever I run into issues on my PC, the first thing I look at is what I have installed recently on my PC.

    The problem has corrected itself but am not sure what caused it. It was just bad timing is all that my problem started right after I applied updates to SpyBot S&D.

    This is a great product.. keep up the good work !!!!
