Where do SpybotSD.exe and SDUpdate.exe reside?
Hi,
I see on my Zone Alarm that the following programs are trying to access the internet, but when I go to the actual directory I am not able to find these exe's, I am not able to find them using the hidden file option either. Could someone shine some light on me please?
c:\Program Files\Spybot Search & Destroy\SDUpdate.exe
c:\Program Files\Spybot Search & Destroy\SpybotSD.exe
I am running S&D 1.6.2.46, Vista.
Thanks a lot.

Did you remove the checkmark from the checkbox labeled Hide protected operating system files when showing Hidden Files?

I did.
Thanks.
I am using Vista so I don't see the option you mentioned. Instead, on Window Explorer when I did the search I checked the option "Include non-indexed, hidden, and system files", and did not find the SpybotSD.exe file. And, I have the "show hidden files" selected in my Folder Options.
When I run S & D, I do see SpybotSD.exe showing up on my taskmanager, although I still don't find it in the c:\Program Files\Spybot & Destroy\, which is really strange.
Cheers.

I have Vista,too.
You have to remove the checkmark under folder options,not in search.
Please see here:

Still the same.
Thanks again. Did that too. Still don't see those files. I do know that the settings have been changed because I am seeing hidden files that I didn't see before.

See them now
Oops I am sorry! I missed the last one, just re-read the link you posted very carefully and realized that there are three options that I need to change. I see the files now. Thanks again for your help.
