Spybot-S&D 2.0 RC3 release thread

This issue will be fixed with the final version of Spybot-S&D 2.0.

and hopefully the upcoming final release of Spybot 2.0 is fully Windows 8 compatible as Win8 RTM has been made available to the general public on October 26. other internet security software from Lavasoft, Avast and Avira are not yet compatible with Win8 final as I've looked myself recently but they're working on making them Win8 compatible in the near future.
 
no, 2 of the includes files are invalid (still) and dont get updated, because the update-windows is getting frozen and u need to exit it with task-manager!

Even if it frozen - it's just the visuals, the actual updating takes place in the background by a system service, what would be frozen would be the user interface showing the progress of that, without being able to block it.
 
Hello,

@ALL:
About the update problem with the include files.

1. Did you really run the Update service elevated?
Did you open the Start Center or the SDUpdate.exe with a rightclick and choose "run as administrator"?

2. Did you only open the updater or click on "Check status"?
Or did you also click on "Update" manually after opening the Updater?

Best regards

for me the answer on both questions is YES
 
Hello,

Thanks so much for testing. :)
We have trouble reproducing this error.

3. Can you post or send us the Event Log if there is any error of the Spyot Updates?
Click the Start button Picture of the Start button. In the Search box, type Event Viewer, and then, in the list of results, double-click Event Viewer.

4. We would also like to see the uid files.
They should be stored here:
"C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy 2\Updates\Downloads\updates.uid"

5. Please restart the update service.
Therfore open the Settings -> System Services.
Click "Stop" - Apply - OK.
Open it again and press "Start" - Apply - OK.

6. Please run SDUpdate /noservice .
Make a desktop link for SDUpdate.
Then rightclick it and choose properties.
Add /noservice as command line parameter (with a blank space in front of the /).

7. Please check if SDUpdSvc is blocked by your firewall (if you run any).

See http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?p=432557#post432557

But why should this be necessary? The whole point of the new Spybot updater service is that it allows someone with a user level account to run the update: http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?p=414338#post414338

2. Did you only open the updater or click on "Check status"?
Or did you also click on "Update" manually after opening the Updater?

I clicked on Update.

We have trouble reproducing this error.

You should be able to reproduce the set up that I have exactly. Hopefully this will allow you to reproduce the problem. Here is what you need to do:

1. Install VirtualBox https://www.virtualbox.org/ I'm currently running v4.2.2, but I don't see why the latest version v4.2.4 should be any different.

2. Install the Windows 8 Release Preview 64 bit English version in a VirtualBox machine. I know that you keep going on about how Windows 8 hasn't been released, but I bet you have a copy of the release preview lying around :).

Here is the basic set up. The only other thing that you might need to know is that I'm using the PIIX3 chipset and just one CPU.

3. Set up an administrator account and a user account using Microsoft accounts (rather than local accounts).

4. Install Spybot from the user account and test.

Alternatively, you could add some better logging as I suggested some time ago.

3. Can you post or send us the Event Log if there is any error of the Spyot Updates?

The only entries in the Event Viewer in the Application and Services Logs - Spybot - Search and Destroy section are information messages.

4. We would also like to see the uid files.
They should be stored here:
"C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy 2\Updates\Downloads\updates.uid"

I've emailed this to you since I don't know what it contains.

5. Please restart the update service.
Therfore open the Settings -> System Services.
Click "Stop" - Apply - OK.
Open it again and press "Start" - Apply - OK.

This made no difference to the problem. I tested updating after restarting the service running as both user and administrator.

6. Please run SDUpdate /noservice .

This made no difference.

The first time that I ran it I used my user account. All that happened was that it checked whether there were any updates required and advised that 4 files needed updating. I still had to click the <Update> button to get it to try and download the new files and again this failed.

Note that the Windows Firewall did ask me to give SDUpdate access which I did, but I don't see why this would be unexpected since SDUpdate shouldn't have been asking for network access before.

The second time that I ran it I ran it as administrator. Again, it said that 4 files needed updating. I still had to click the <Update> button to get it to try and download the new files and again this failed.

7. Please check if SDUpdSvc is blocked by your firewall (if you run any).

I've given SDupdSvc explicit access through the Windows Firewall but this had made no difference, even after restarting Windows, and trying running as user and administrator.

But given that the update advises that 4 files need updating, doesn't this indicate that whatever needs access already has the access that it needs?

i uploaded the updates.uid on mediafire,
here is the link: http://www.mediafire.com/?cxpg7lh7sk3l0ou

i could not find any errors about spybot into event.log, but i neveretheless uploaded the complete log on mediafire,
here is the link http://www.mediafire.com/?cxfzk9l9616efhz

5. Please restart the update service.
Therfore open the Settings -> System Services.

6. Please run SDUpdate /noservice .
Make a desktop link for SDUpdate.
Then rightclick it and choose properties.
Add /noservice as command line parameter (with a blank space in front of the /).

done both, makes no different, if i press the Update-Button or click Update (yes i click it!) i get the Connection-Error window!

7. Please check if SDUpdSvc is blocked by your firewall (if you run any).

@super0zero, drhughes (& @bbnetwork here or in the other thread): to further investigate this issue, could you open your browser and browse to http://127.0.0.1:21321/start , then post the output of that here (might take a moment to appear)?

That ensures we have the log of just one, current, attempt, as created by the update service, without conflicts from the user interface etc.

An example output could be:

Spybot is now showing that it is up to date in the Start Center message, and this is confirmed when I manually check for updates using the Update icon in the Start Center.

Just to confirm, here is what happens when I "run" http://127.0.0.1:21331/start a second time:

So everything seems to work using this method.
 
Hello,

Which other security software do you have installed?

Best regards
Sandra
Team Spybot

i have installed also:

- Kaspersky Internet Security 2013
- Emsisoft Anti-Maleware (a-sqauared) Vollversion
- Emsisoft Online Armor Premium Edition
- Spybot 1.6.2

but before u now say, one of them may cause the error, i need to say three things:

- i have this all insalled and not have any problems with the spybot 2 updates till RC2, so i am almost sure, the problem is located into the changes which u made into the updater between RC 2 and RC 3. If u will look into the changes made from between RC 2 to RC 3 into the updater, u should find the problem, because till RC2 the update of Spybot 2 was working.

- i have specially configurate all the security software, to allow each other, so there is nothing blocking another thing

- for testing only, i now have disabled all other security-software and i also have set up a new virtual-pc, with only spybot 2 installed, in both cases, the connection-error-window is still occuring in Windows 7 SP1 and Windows 8 Pro, if u click "Update" into the Update-Wizzard, but Internet is present!

once again, cuz very important:

i have disabled all other security-software - the connection-error-window is still occuring in Windows 7 SP1 if u click "Update" into the Update-Wizzard

and

i also have set up a new virtual-pc, with only spybot 2 installed - the connection-error-window is still occuring in Windows 7 SP1 and Windows 8 Pro, if u click "Update" into the Update-Wizzard.

The Windows 8 version of Microsoft Defender is active.

Malwarebytes Free Version is installed, but as this has no active component, shouldn't have any effect.

And as bbnetwork has said, the update has worked in the past, and it is only the last couple of betas where this problem has existed.
 
Some more information on this - I tried using the scheduled update and the updater in the Start Center to get today's updates, but they reported that everything was up to date.

However, using http://127.0.0.1:21331/start did find today's updates as can been seen in the following:

the Problem is allocated into the changes which have been made into the updater between rc2 to
RC3 cuz updater was able to connect Internet till Rc2.

@Spybot-Team: IF u could make Rc2 available for download for me again maybe i could try to help testing future and try to find The exact problem
