So far so good. No issues what so ever here
Greetz, Red.
I installed this tools on Vista Rc1 Build 5600. Even though Teatimer and Sdhelper were all on, it still showed this:
If I attempt to click turn on, it will just launch Spybot S&d and the status will still remain turn off.
Also, the text in Vista security centre shows like that:
The text is missing an &.Windows defender and Spybot - Search _destroy both report that they are both turn off
I don't know if these problems are fixed in later builds of vista but they sure are a problem in RC1.
Shouldn't be a problem in RC2 (5744), I don't have a VM of RC1 any more to test it there (edit: wait, or maybe it still is, see below).
Btw: Spybot-S&D has absolutely no way of influencing Windows Defender, so that bug won't come from us.
The thing about the amp (&) is that Windows can use this characters as a sign that the next caption is a shortcut letter, thus the & would not be displayed, but the following letter underlined. In those cases, one has to use a double amp (&&) to tell it to display the actual letter. The problem here is something you can see in the other screenshot: in one place Windows is interpreting it as a shortcut, in the other as a letter. We can provide only one name - so it's a bug in WSCThat "turn on" starts Spybot instead of TeaTimer, well that's because the SpybotSD.exe has not yet been replaced. Let me see... got an idea maybe... could you please test this?
- Did you leave the checkboxes at the end of the setup on (Service Installation & Run service)?
- Could you check if the SDWinSec service is running?
(Start) > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Services and Applications > Services > SBSD Security Center Service- I'm going to improve some of the updating for a second beta

do you need any beta/RC testing done, on a WinXP system? If so, let me know. Dont mind helping out
1. Yes, I check both boxes at the end of the setup.
2. Yep, is turned on.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Ones I installed it, Security centre started detecting that spybot is on.That "turn on" starts Spybot instead of TeaTimer, well that's because the SpybotSD.exe has not yet been replaced. Let me see... got an idea maybe... could you please test this?
When I turned off teatimer through the windows taskbar, it takes a while(10sec) before security centre realized that spybot is off.
Then, I attempted to turn it on through the security centre, it works like a charm, teatimer was instantly turn on and shown in the taskbar.
But one thing to note that if when turning off/on teatimer through WSC, it dosen't affect the settings located at Spybot-->Advance mode-->Tools-->Resident.
Cheers.

Ok, Microsoft apologizes for not finding the & bug in testing, won't even be ready for SP1, so we'll probably change the "&" to "and" to workaround their bug
Regarding the settings: hmmm yes, that's right. Right now it's just a silly starter. Good point

before this update ihave message box issues now i can see all text inside and all button well placed but, i have new issues based on teatimer advices
One reg modify box pop and ask me confirmation about the change of my home page (like before was www.google.com now is www.google.com\ the only change is "\") i push on allow after choose remember my decision.
teatimer start spamming message box (like a colum from the sistray to the top of desktop) taking about white list and my decision that allow modify of registry.
I am at work (windows 2000 professional edition)cannot do screeshot, the only way to shut up this colum of messages (same text in all boxes) is to close teatimer.exe process from taskmanager.
I like spybot i hope to see a fix

Could you take a look at C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy\ ?
There should be a folder Snapshots (old TeaTimer) and Snapshots2 there. If you remove the second one, he'll redetect all current settings. Or maybe even better: remove the Excludes\RegKeyWhite.sbs file. Then, please try again.
