    Default First run of spybot S&D after installation

    After installation, when it was loading for first run, it brought a pop-up,

    Hello,

    That is a general notification. You just can click on OK.
    It tells you if you have bad programs on your pc that you are not aware of those baddies are being deleted and do not function anymore.
    Nothing to worry.

    The wizard on first run, took me through about 3 steps, first being storing registry, 3rd being update, when i clicked to update, i did the updation. But the wizard vanished. I couldnt complete the rest of the steps. And the spybot S&D program was open so i am running the scan without doing any of the last steps of the wizard.

    Hello,

    Please run Spybot - Search & Destroy and switch to the Advanced mode via the menu item Mode.
    Now select 'Settings' - 'Settings' from the navigation bar on the left.

    Now choose 'Wizard' from the navigation bar above.

    I switched to advanced mode via menu item mode, and clicked on settings in the navigation bar on the left.

    Now there is no wizard written anywhere. Should i place a screen shot.

    Hello,

    Please select it two times like I have already described.
    Select the over topic settings and then the under category settings - both from the navigation bar on the left.

    Yes i just finished doing the wizard by selecting subcatagory settings in settings (that makes it two times). And i found i then found the wizard.

    But the wizard was odd. It took me through

    step 3 - registry backup
    step 5 - check for updates
    step 6 - immunise
    step 7 - read through help etc

    and skipped rest.



    Like i described the first time i ran spybot the wizard when it had ran first time and had vanished midway, then it had gone to

    step 3 - registry backup
    step 5 - check for updates

    and vanished.
