    Great news! Just ran a full system scan, no issues. No false positive, no nothing. I'll test the protection and cleaning abilities tomorrow or in the upcoming days.

    Default Where are the Spybot 2.0 System Requirements?

    nice but there's one little disappointment.

    The System Requirements (especially the Windows OS requirements) for Spybot Search & Destroy 2.0 final are not listed on the Spybot web site

    a reminder that Spybot 2.0 requires at least WinXP SP2 to use. Win2000 SP4 users should use Spybot 1.6.2 as that version is still supported.

    some longtime Spybot users may still think that v2.0 may have the same system requirements as the previous version 1.6.2.

    the webmaster of the spybot web site should list the new system requirements for spybot 2.0 on the spybot download page ASAP.

    Hi,

    Version 2.0 looks great so far. Issues I have however are;

    (1) in 1.62 I could add the Spybot Hosts Files to HostMan which I use to manage and update my Hosts File. Can not seem to get this to work with 2.0 as the whole Advanced Tools Section/Choices and that function seem to either be so much smaller of not there?

    Probably me, not looking in the right place but guess I was used to 1.62.

    (2) I also have a few rouge Opera Cookie Protection (193) Unprotected that I cannot seem to get right on the XP PC but it works fine on the HP Pavilion DV6 Laptop (Win 7 Home Premium) system.

    System: 2.85 Gigahertz Intel Core2 Quad Q9550, twin 500GB Raid Mirrored HDDs, 4GB RAM, External 1.5TB HDD, Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 (build 2600) (32 bit) with HL-DT-ST BDDVDRW GGC-H20L [CD-ROM drive] and NVIDIA GeForce GT 440 1GB DDR3 [Display adapter], LG Flatron E2441IV [Monitor] (24.0")

    Hello,

    1. Please open the Start Center and go to Startup Tools.
    There is a tab "Hosts".
    Otherwise you can make your host changes manually here:
    C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

    2. Are you logged in as admin or as user with admin rights?
    Do you have other user accounts on your pc?
    Can you make a screenshot of the immunization page?
    Which Opera version do you run?

    Best regards

    Disappointing

    No tea timer and apparently donation requests are part of the 'free' one

    Hi,

    Opera 12.11. In terms of Screen Shots it appears, from my perspective, near on impossible to Paste/Post then on the forum, so that would be a No.

    After a few days of hassling with SD2.0 I have uninstalled it and returned to 1.6.2. At least that Version works and does what I want. Being logged in as the Administrator does not help.

    The Add Spybot Host Files function just is not a feature of SD2.0.

    1.6.2 also does not have the same "bloatware" feel and performance issues as SD 2.0.

    Sad really but iy often seems that great freeware/donationware expands itself into trying to be all and do all and then fails at actually being any use any more.

    Such is life

    It is the worst and most confusing update of a program i have ever seen. from around 15MB to 52MB and still not even a tea timer r any real time protection in the 'free' one. Obviously trying to sell the one with real time protection i am getting rid of it anyway
