Possible defect in the spybotsd_includes.exe program

[md usa spybot fan]

The manual detection updates program (spybotsd_includes.exe) appears to take the destination folder from the following old registry key/value if it is present:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PepiMK Software\SpybotSnD]
"Path"="C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\"

Rather than the new location for the "Path" entry:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Safer Networking Limited\SpybotSnD]
"Path"="C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\"

Yes and no As you wrote, it does so if that is present, while defaulting to the new path otherwise.

Since Spybot-S&D itself would move the config to the new location if the new location does not yet exist, that should cover a regular porting path.

With support for old versions stopped, that method can probably be discarded though, thanks for reporting it
