Checking for updated includes at program start?

[kduncan5]

Sorry, but I don't understand the /command line switches here and at the link that was provided... ...but...

I really don't want to "schedule" an auto update, I don't particularly like updaters or "run in the background" stuff running on my computer (I even manually update my antivirus, although I autoupdate the AV on customer's computers).

The fewer things that run in the background on a computer, the better the computer will run, at least that's my philosophy.

I liked that Spybot would check for updated includes and immunize each time the application was brought up, I hope that if the updating of include files hasn't been incorporated into the option to search for new versions at each program start, that it can be returned to Spybot soon.


Thanks, -kd5-

K
you want to save cycles
Spybot usually updates the same day every week
just check once a week on Wednesdays- manually

The option didn't do anything in 1.5.2 either; it was a left-over from the integrated updating only (and we thought we should remove it to avoid confusion, not to create more of it, sorry ). It now should be part of the "Search..." option,

So in the end, they are kind of combined now.

Those two sentences seem to suggest the option to check for and download updated includes has been incorporated into the search for new versions option. If it has, that's great! Can you confirm?

BTW, if that option did not work in 1.5.2, had it already been incorporated into the search for new versions at program start? I ask this because I had been enabling both options in 1.5.2 (to search for new versions and to check for & download updated includes) and Spybot most definitely checked for and downloaded updated includes (if there were any) each time I brought Spybot up.


Thanks again, -kd5-
