    Default Auto Global Start Up

    Great changes and new tools. Love Spybot, but the new auto startup service Start Center started with the system and before the Firewall without fully understanding the new feature.

    During installation, I unchecked any auto start up services and features. On my system, very few services are allowed to start automatically. However, integrating IE seemed reasonable (though used only on demand and bare bones) until I discovered it was also an auto "global" system startup feature.

    Maybe I'm not making myself clear enough, but without getting high tech, would Spybot consider offering the option (during installation) to have all features and services set to Manual or On Demand?

    Default Auto Start Up 2

    Should I remove the question? No one has responded, so maybe it's a silly question and/or wrong forum. Love beta testing, but can't devote time to it (for the next few months).

    Better understanding the feature I was referring to, 2.0 is fantastic for the novice (and pros) with the built in IE/explorer protection (start up), but just wondering if the 1.6.2 configuration/style has officially ended (no updates)? On my system, it has integrated well with other apps and personal configurations. Do I have to upgrade by a certain time to continue to receive the latest updates?

    Thanks so much for the info. I read it the same day, but I apologize for taking so long to reply. You're doing a great job and I applaud the team. Merry Christmas! If I have other suggestions, please let me know if this not the right forum to post them in. Thanks again.
