    Default Possible defect in the spybotsd_includes.exe program

    The manual detection updates program (spybotsd_includes.exe) appears to take the destination folder from the following old registry key/value if it is present:

    Code:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PepiMK Software\SpybotSnD]
    "Path"="C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\"
    Rather than the new location for the "Path" entry:

    Code:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Safer Networking Limited\SpybotSnD]
    "Path"="C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\"

    Getting an answer is one thing, learning is another.


    Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition running on a 2.40GHz IntelŪ PentiumŪ 4 Processor with 512 MB of RAM and a 533 MHz System Bus.

    Default

    Yes and no As you wrote, it does so if that is present, while defaulting to the new path otherwise.

    Since Spybot-S&D itself would move the config to the new location if the new location does not yet exist, that should cover a regular porting path.

    With support for old versions stopped, that method can probably be discarded though, thanks for reporting it
