Hello.
I added:
Is it possible to run Spybot-S&D under Windows 95?
Link to old version of Spybot-S&D 1.3 for Win95
Also see:
End of support for Windows 98/ME; will Spybot follow suit?
Of course Win95 is older.

Yea, this particular Win95 machine has been taken off-line to continue doing data base and newsletter stuff (a WinXP machine has taken its place on-line). But it does need cleanup anyway --- Gator, WeatherBug, and others are in there. :spider:
Anyway -- thanks sooooo much for your help.

Hello.
That makes sense. :bigthumb:
If you need help with the infections on the machine please do the following and one of us will take a look.
- Open SpyBot, check for and get any updates available.
- Close all browsers, check for problems and fix everything found in red
- Then on the toolbar menu select mode and switch to advanced mode, on the left lower down select tools, and view report.
- Select (near the top) view report.
- Press export in the save in box choose a place such as your my documents folder, then in your next post near the bottom select the "browse" button; navigate to and attach or post that report.
Cheers.
Done, Clean and Running
90- some - odd "bad guys" cleaned out. The major symptom was sluggishness.
The system is working well for the database/newsletter job. They now have time to explore alternatives for migrating that job to the newer machine.
And yes, we did talk of re-installing the OS and/or upgrading --- but decided against it.

ElderJ, there is an updated spybotsd.exe file for Spybot 1.4 that will make it work
under Win95. you can get it here:
http://www.safer-networking.org/files/temp/sbsd141pefix.zip
open the zip file, extract the updated spybotsd.exe file onto the \Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\ folder and overwrite the existing version of spybotsd.exe with the new one.
