    Default Installing Spybot S&D

    I just finished installing S&D 1.5.2.20 on my Vista notebooik. My husband installed 1.5.2 previoulsly on his WinXP and now he is out of state but I was talking to him on the telephone. I tried to explain to him what I experienced when I installed the S&D and there seemed to be one difference. He said as far as he could remember, there was a screen near the end of the installation that said something like "Do you want to run S&D?"
    I told him when I got to that screen, I believe there were two other questions mentioned there. Something like "Do you want to initialize....." I clicked all there of the boxes. The one for "Run S&D now" and the other two (I can't remember exact wording) that said something like, I think, "do you want to initialize...."
    Did anyone install 1.5.2.20 recently? Do you remember what those two lines could have been?
    Did I do wrong by checking them?
    I hope not. (I could uninstall and reinstall again and see what those two lines were, and which my husband don't remember seeing when he installed the 1.5.2 some months ago.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks
    Alice

    the word was "immunize"
    version 1.6 is out but for today let's get 1.5 tuned up
    go to update, select a download site near you, update
    when finished EXIT
    go to immunize button on left
    led it load
    click immunize button at top
    let it finish- there will be no done message you can see the progress
    when it's done it's done
    do your scan
    report if it finds anything

    sometime
    if 2000-xp vista log in as administrator
    download version 1.6- save to a file
    un-immunize
    go into mode>advanced> >tools>resident (top left)
    and uncheck SDhelper and t-timer if checked
    go to add remove programs and remove spybot
    install 1.6 > update>immunize

    Thank you. If/when I donwload and install S&D 1.6, will there be many differences than 1.5.2.20? Or will all the screens be the same?
    Is there some place we can see the download instructions (including images) similar to what we found for installing 1.5?

    Download and install are the same
    the uninstall drill I gave above may not be necessary if you never had 1.3 or 1.4 on this computer
    some knowledgeable techs say you can install 1.6 right over the top of 1.5
    those installing over multiple old versions have some problems

    screens are the same

    Where did you find 1.5?
    it should now be available only from the archives

    get 1.6 here English
    http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html

    all languages
    http://www.safer-networking.org/index2.html

    did you scan yet?

    Just wanted to mention that the word was not "immunize," but the two lines I was talking about were:
    "Install Security Center Integration"
    "Activate Security Center Integration"

    HI Tiger
    on questions like that just copy(for example)
    "Install Security Center Integration"
    into the search box (dropdown middle top of this page)
    I do not use it but evidently it allows windows security center to tell you if out of date etc

    let me know what you find
