Announcing betas: TeaTimer / Updater / Vista integration

[PepiMK]

The last month has been mostly discussing and waiting for MS to make the Vista certification requirements more secure against malware. We've agreed in theory now, I'm just waiting for the final adjusted testing steps.
It probably wouldn't make sense to release a win95-compatible beta just a week or two before that, when the "Vista version" will be a "95 to Vista" version actually (not sure where to put the side-projects like Wine & ReactOS ) and include the Win95 compatibility as well

Thank you, that's exactly what I wanted to know!

hopefully yes. in the meantime, here's the link to the updated spybotsd.exe 1.41 beta file which should run under Win95:
http://www.safer-networking.org/file...sd141pefix.zip
extract the spybotsd.exe file from the .zip file onto the folder where you installed the Spybot S&D software and overwrite the existing version with the newer one.

it would be nice if there was a 1.5 beta version of the spybotsd.exe main application file available for beta testing.

It works Thanks

Is there any timescale for the final release of Spybot S&D version 1.5?

Thanks for your program. I design websites for churches and get asked a lot about antivirus and spyware. It's great to know you all are trusted and your software works great!

Sorry no, when ready it will be announced.

Please fix the following problem: If I denied a change of an installer, it ends up in a loop telling me "change denied" and then I see 4-7 windows with the same message,l this doesn#t happen in xp pro and xp pro 54bit.

Thanks in advance

Hello, I installed the Beta TeaTimer and the Beta Rules with the updater, is the detection engine update aswell ?

Med365:

Yes and no (it was updated two months ago).

The "Scanning engine" referred to on 2006-12-04 by PepiMK in the first post of this topic is the advcheck.dll.

Scanning engine

This update cannot be disabled in the download package below; it is not only used if you install TeaTimer, but by the main Spybot-S&D scanner as well. The methods available to detect malware have been more than doubled, including new ways to generically detect malware mutations.

The new advcheck.dll was released in January 2007 and you have probably already picked it up as a regular (non-beta) update as the following item:

• Advanced detection library 1.5.1 - !Advanced detection routines update (293 KB) - 2007-01-16

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note: To use the "ßDetection rules (beta)" you must go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced mode > Settings > File Sets and check the following item:

• Beta.sbi - For internal testing of new stuff only

Can someone summarize the files and version numbers that are included with the
sbsdtools15beta.exe download?

My current advcheck.dll version is 1.2.1.0, and my Teatimer version is 1.5.0.0.

Would it be possible in the future to include the Teatimer version number in the Teatimer "about" info, that appears when you right click on the icon?
