Nice!! This is just being better and better! I'm looking forward to test it out, and report any bugs/improvement suggestions.

By the way, has it been added some sort of "remember my decision" in the "TeaTimer"?

Sorry for double-posting, but what I meant in the last post was, have it been added "Remember my decision" when the TeaTimer has detected a malicious file?

Does anyone tell me if auto update problem fixed in SD beta 3.0

[Arctucas]

The Update appears to be working.

However, the Context Menu scanning issue is not fixed.

What about add a "Submit file/folder" where you can submit malicious files/folders?

Well, i couldn't test everything yet but till now:

- As in beta 1 the Start Center closes whenever i open something from it. I didn't have this problem in beta 2.
- Some definitions seem to be broken and old in beta 3, maybe because I have installed beta 3 over beta 2 as i did from beta 1 (where the updates have been correct). So i needed to update, which:
- Manual update still only works correctly if i start S&D Start Center with admin rights.
- You still can't scan a specified folder, just files or system.

Hello,

As in beta 1 the Start Center closes whenever i open something from it. I didn't have this problem in beta 2.

Please verify the status of your "Close this window after opening link" check box within Start Center.

Some definitions seem to be broken and old in beta 3, maybe because I have installed beta 3 over beta 2 as i did from beta 1 (where the updates have been correct).

Broken means they were outdated after an itegrity check?

You still can't scan a specified folder, just files or system.

You may scan the content of a folder by dragging a folder from any Explorer window into the File Scanner.

Kind regards,
Roberto.

Then why have the Context Menu scan option for folders available at all?

I, for one, feel the Context Menu scan for folders is a better alternative than having to open SB, open the File Scanner, open Windows Explorer, navigate to the desired folder, and then drag it to the File Scanner.
