I guess this failure to install is connected with this inherited PC I have which is a 64 bit AMD CPU but it's running Windows 10 32bit? Screenshot (49).jpg
This is a puzzle.
It says version 2.1 but when I installed in on my Win 8.1 Toshiba I found that it is really a new program = it saved the files in Program Files\Safer-Networking Ltd\SpyBot AntiBeacon\ and left all the old programs in Program Files (x86)\SpyBot AntiBeacon\. So now I have to uninstall the old version. The version of the new file is 3.0.1.72!
Then I looked in the taskschd.msc and I found that the action had been changed to a program that didn't exist C:\Program Files\SpyBot AntiBeacon\SDAntiBeacon.exe
So my last question is - has the option to run on startup been moved somewhere else or will it never run?

This is just in an attempt to add this thread to my subscribed list...
Found another issue with 2.1
When you uninstall the process is not stopped... and several files are left in place.
SpyBot3AntiBeacon64.exe and the x64 dll files

The workaround is to install it on an another Windows installation (eg. my 64bit Window 7 laptop) and copy the resulting "Safer Networking Ltd" folder from Program Files to the Windows 10 equivalent. And it works.
Doesn't set it to run on Start Up mind you, but that's easily solved.
I'm trying to install vrsion 2.1 on W7 32bit but when clicking on last button (Install) I got this msg:
Internal error: cannot install files to 64-bit locations on this version of windows
Easy enough to get the program to launch at start up, but what about it immunizing at start up in the background?
Seems they assumed every computer out there is 64bit, and didn't account for the large number of 32bit still out there (including windows 10).....big mistake.
Why do I have to keep clicking on 'immunize' in the options tab, for several items, every time I open spybot antibeacon?
One Drive, Office 15 and Office 16 especially.
They either revert to no immunization applied, or half applied. How can I make it always automatic?
Am I posting a question for the good of my health, or is this a forum?
