I just installed spybot 1.6 and I think I now have the update function working. The first time I manually ran it it worked. The second time the screen goes by so fast I'm not really sure if its just verifying that everything is up to date.
Anyhow I now have Spybot setup to run as a scheduled task ( vista) in silent mode. I've tested it and it seems to run to completion. Is there a simple log anywhere within spybot that will tell you the last time run, the last time updates were downloaded, and possibly a version or revision number of the last update installed? I found a lot of very technical logs (reports) but I can't seem to find a simple run log?
