u know when u right click on any file it says open and as well it says want to scan with the antivirus u got. well could it say for Spybot-search & destroy to scan the particular file as well?
pls for the next version"
Sorry I don't know how to quote.
I second this suggestion. Spybot in the menu when you right-click on a file would be really useful, especially for a downloaded file.
Thanks

Please fix the issue with computers that have "Hyper-Threading"!!!
There are so many Intel H.T. systems and seems like they are more and more common in newer computers. Spybot S&D has had a problem with it's working properly with computers that have the HT technology since the 1.3 version. It was known then, before the release of the 1.4RC and the 1.4 versions, which we were told would be corrected in those NEW version. I've not seen or heard of a fix for this in the new 1.5 version...though, we have been told by Spybot S&D that it would be fixed in the next release, AGAIN!
I really like your product, but don't like to have to do "work arounds" so your program will work with the newer technology and the way of the future in computer chips. As you can guess I have the Hyper-Threading and if you Google "Spybot S&D and Hyper-Threading"....there are numerous pages of people that have H.T. computers that have stopped using your product.
Please, add a fix for this problem so Spybot will work with H.T in your next version...or put out a fix for it now.
Thank You!

You never returned to your earlier thread and let us know you still had an HTT problem.tonysak said:
XP Home With HyperThreading
If you had, I would have directed you to this more permanent workaround that builds the 'Set Affinity' into the SpybotSD.exe file itself.
Permanent Affinity setting for Spybot S&D hang on HTT
I don't know if there will be a final 'fix' for this in 1.5, or even when that might be released, so I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you. This worked perfectly for the original person who tried it and caused no problems on my own PC without HyperThreading.

they're still working on it
I guess they're still working on the new features because they're probably not yet ready. so it looks like we'll have to wait even longer. also they have to make the 1.5 beta work under win95 cuz spybot 1.4 does not even run under win95.

i don't think the programers of Spybot should waiste there time on making spybot 1.5 compatible with win 95 and 98 as those are old operating systems.
i think they should spend there time trying to perfect there program for win xp and 2000. and also spend there time on making the prgram better. by bug fixes and making the scan engine better and the features better ertc....

Immunising
I am running a standalone computer on windows xp. It proves a big pain trying to administer it. Spybot has got a good immunisation system, however , every single user on the computer has to immunise separatly. Which means that normally only the most profishent users (such as myself) immunise to take advantage of the new database.
What I am getting at is that Spybot should filter the settings down the users. So that only one user needs to immunise and all the computer users are protected from new threats, without having to go into every user name to do it seperatly.

improved immunization feature would be great
Jim B has got a point on improvements on the immunization feature so that users dont have to immunize spybot on each computer separately.
I have to disagree with Chaos17 (bigtime) on just making spybot better under win2k & XP. there are still a lot of windows users out there using win98/me and removing 9x support in spybot 1.5 would be a terrible mistake. hope all the Teatimer problems will be resolved in the next release of spybot. the teatimer problems are another reason why it'll take longer for the creators of spybot to release the next version. they have to figure out a way to fix those problems.

Hello Spybot User From Mexico
Hello I Was Also Wondering About Spybot 1.5 And This Are The Suggestions That I Have
- Continue With The Support For W98 And Wme In My Country Many Computers Are Still Used With These Os Will Be Terrible For Us If You Don't Do It.
- I Think You Should Fix The Problem With Ht.
- I Think That The Autoupdate Will Not Be A Good Idea, The Auto Update Programs Like Norton Are Very Annoying, And Only Causes Trouble. I Know That Not Every Body Is Able To Update It Itself But This Is Not A Perfect World.
Thanks A Lot Spybot Team
I Know Yow Will Do Your Best In Spybot 1.5

Next release suggestion
First, excellent product keep up the good work!
Here are a few suggestions from a network admin point of view.
How about making a msi install package for spybot so admins can deploy via AD. This would resolve the issue with users not being administrators on workstations for logon script installs.
Create a program to install on a server to allow admins to autodownload the "spybot dats" to a shared location for the client installs to pull from.
Make spybot a windows service rather then a startup task

use Pop-up Stopper from Panicware to stop pop-up windows
not sure about pop-up blocking. Use Panicware's Pop-Up Stopper utility to block popup windows, tsSecure. Popup Stopper comes in different flavors. besides, most recent versions of non-IE browsers like Mozilla, Firefox, Opera have built-in popup blockers.
here's Panicware's web site to get Popup Stopper:

I think spybot could have a tool like killbox built in to delete any files that are being stubborn and wont delete by the normal scanning process.
It could also have a much better User Interface now, especially if you look at Windows Defender, it just seems quite dull.
The "advanced mode" should be ditched, and with a better UI, users can be warned that only advanced users should change stuff in this particular section.
There could be better scanning options, like to scan your whole PC, or to scan a specific section.

user announced this:
"i was wondering if in the updates portion that you could include either a select all updates button, or download all updates button, it would beat running the wizard each time. thanks for hearing me out."

"Immunity" support for Opera 9 browsers
that would be a nice idea spybotsandra to have a Download All updates button.
I hope the next version of Spybot would include Immunization support for Opera 9 web browsers. I just downloaded the final release of Opera 9 browser today and Spybot does NOT offer Immunization for it, even when I checked the "individual profiles" setup option during install of Opera 9. Spybot 1.4 will offer Immunization for Opera 8.5 and earlier but NOT Opera 9.

ok disregard my previous post. Spybot 1.4 can offer Immunization support for Opera 9 browsers as long as Opera 9 is installed in the \Program Files\Opera\ folder and NOT the \Program Files\Opera 9\ folder. If it is installed in the Opera 9 folder, un-install Opera 9 and re-install the browser into the Opera folder and Spybot will show immunity for Opera 9.

extra includes for more limits
hi,
1. is it possible to up the loads a bit to fully use the includes, that would then force most of the leaders to be hit?
2. On the 2nd main screen two links would be useful to press to get to it and that would save time working out where they were.
3. Ive installed this on many lights before, on thier own but it wold be useful if you could release two sessions side by side, making remote passes possible.
4 and lastly keep up the good work people, if you get these three options working you know youve gone MAD.
;-)
