Aww... You moved all old threads from 2.0 beta old subforum? I wanted it as archive! :lip:
 
The release announcement says "Remember it is a beta and as such not a replacement for the stable version 1.6.2."

What does this mean in practice? Will v1.6.2 run along side the v2 beta? Do I need to uninstall v1.6.2 before installing the beta? Does the v2 beta provide less protection than v1.6.2?
 
I think it won't run alongside, as it could make problems. It should be completely replaced, and that's why it's not for replacement if you get problems later.

As for using them both, if the TeaTimer is disabled, I don't see any conflicts. I think not even with TeaTimer, but would have to check that with our test coordinator tomorrow.

Do they use same registry entries or Application Data locations?
 
Hello,
if Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.6 is updated to the last version (especially the teatimer) and if the paranoid mode of teatimer is not enabled there should be no problems using the 2.0 beta alongside the old 1.6 .

Best regards,
Markus
 
I have a problem with the 2.0 BETA 1;

After installing, I get a 0x50 bluescreen within one minute of rebooting.

I repeated this four times.

I uninstalled 2.0 BETA 1, and no bluescreen.

Any ideas?
 
Memory Leaking at ending of scan. I still wonder what the hell is doing at ending of it?

Additionally,

Icons are messed up again, While protection does not allow to scan files in its own folder. I guess it's safe enough, but it doesn't modify or delete...

Immunization on Firefox is still really slow, isn't possible to make it faster or show real-time immunizing? Additionally, it gets messed up with numbers. Estimated time is not defined (keeps staying at calculating...).

In creation of report, once again you can't click Immunization in log mode.

Services module misidentified as Welcome center:

Additionally, Spybot doesn't show warning about downloading some malicious file, it just closes IE, on confirmation mode.

I had the exact same issue as you, Arctucas, although I uninstalled the Spybot beta from Safe mode after two STOP 0x50 errors and everything appears back to normal. The crashes occurred within two minutes of booting into Windows (7 SP1 64-bit) for me. I've never had any problems with the older v1.6.2 so I'll stick with that I think until the RC or final build.

Blue screen crashes are a very, very rare occurence for me and usually a result of software conflicts (e.g. HD 5870 CFX + EVEREST) or dodgy drivers/software; I can the number I've had over the past three years on one hand and still have fingers spare!!!
 
Custom install is broken, if you disable update service and/or realtime protection, then then the program later complains about missing files (all the *svc.exe files).
