Launch Spybot querie

[Non Tech head]

No scan. No error retrieveing files this time. Control panel only appearing.
Attached is the schedule edit window.

That's because SDMain.exe has been automated again.It has to be SpybotSD.exe.

Please follow this to show Hidden Files and Folders:

Now,go back into Spybot's scheduler section and open the Edit window once again,then click the Browse button.Navigate to C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy,then select SpybotSD.exe,and click Open.Then,after the "C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\SpybotSD.exe",go to the end of that line,make a space,then put /AUTOCHECK at the end,so that the line looks like this:
"C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\SpybotSD.exe" /AUTOCHECK
Next,click Apply,and then OK.

Then,please give me another screenshot of the schedule edit window.Thanks.

Today I used the computers 'search' fascility to look for spybotSD.exe.
I seach all files and folders including 'hidden' files. It found nothing.

Have a strange feeling in my water now that the file we are looking for, 'spybotSD.exe' is missing.
Take a look at this attachment and see what you think.

That's because you need to follow the instructions to show hidden files and folders.

Make sure you follow everything,right up to number 10,or SpybotSD.exe will not show.

My apologies, was under presure for time.

Have made those changes and here is new edit box.

[Zenobia]

No problem.

Did you select SpybotSD.exe,and add /AUTOCHECK to the end,after you showed hidden files and folders?

[Non Tech head]

Not yet, thought I'd show the box first. I'll do it now.

[Non Tech head]

Done. Will see results tomorrow morning.

[Zenobia]

Looks perfect to me.Fingers crossed,the scheduled scan should work.Let me know how it goes,please.

[Non Tech head]

Nope!, nothing at all. There was nothing on screen at all this morning. No launch of any part of spybot. Internet connection intact all night and no dialog boxes saying 'unable to update files'. I did check the logs which confirmed again no scan.
Well Zenobia, wasn't it better in Roman times when we didn't have these pesky computers
