Spybot Search & Destroy 1.4 Question's

18 years ago

I currently have Spybot Search & Destroy 1.4 and I notice that they have another version but is it only for Vista or is it also for XP?

Secondly can you still download Spybot Search & Destroy 1.4 and if so where is the best site to download it from? Would you please send me the link to the best website where you can download it?

My sister has AdAware SE personal and as we already know they are no longer supporting this version, Plus she has Spyware Blaster. I think she needs something else other than Spyware Blaster on her computer and that is why I am asking. I have had Spybot Search & Destroy on all of my computers with no problems and that is why I was wondering if you can still get the 1.4 version. From what I have read the 1.5.2 version is beta, is this correct? I don't trust the beta versions and would rather wait until it is no longer beta before updating to a newer version.

She also has the plain Norton Antivirus. She has Windows XPSP2 OS.

Thank you for all of your help.

Thanks Mikie I really appreciate this. I do have one more question. Is this a simple download or is there anything she needs to know before she downloads this? The people where I purchased my computer downloaded it for me, so I have no idea what to tell her to do on this download. Does she click on Run or Save? Any other information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again!

Mikie, I am quite sure they will fix your repoerted concern as Safer Networking Limited has historically been very responsible in fixing bugs. Howevr, there timeliness can cause some frustration. SNL knew about the slow starting as I referred to earlier. In fact, on their homepage where they announce v1.5.2 they apologize for it. It just took them quite a while to resolve the concern. Rita, Please rethink your position on CCleaner. It's fast and user friendly. Just use it with its default settings. The only people I hear having concerns are those who tinker with the original configuration. It is quite similar to the old Win 98 compatible CleanUp. If you do use the registry feature, it offers an options of saving anything a user delets. DA

Immunize Question in Spybot 1.6 Search & Destroy
Q
Comments (2)
I just went in and looked again under the immunize section and now I know which ones are unprotected. One is Firefox: 6, 998,998,998= 3000 then there is Mozilla: 6, 998,998,998=3000 a total of 6000 unprotected items. I do not have Firefox installed nor do I have Mozilla installed on this computer. That is strange that they are even counting those since they are not installed. I guess they would be unprotected. "LOL" Under the Firefox browser and the Mozilla browser it is showing my old email address not my current one. Don't know why that is either. Is it ok to leave it with the old address since I am not using those browsers? I did not install Spybot the guys who built this computer did. I have always been somewhat confused with Spybot. I did download the new SuperAntiSpyware and have been using it along with my other Spyware removal programs. thirdfrt!!!

firstkim, Make sure you are running the current verision of spybot-Search & Destroy open the program and it should be at 1.5, anything lower go to railheadwitzs' link & download the current version it was just updated recently to 1.5 I think this cleaner you bought is adding an entry to the registery so it runs all the time spybot may not like that looks like you have tea timer enabled in spybot that is good but No need for registery cleaner to run all the time, you can tell if it is running if it has created an icon in the task bar by the clock, a registery cleaner should run when you choose to run it.

Click the download tab at the web site, click save I would save it to the desk top so she can find it and it will say (spybot1.4.exe_ double click that and the program will guide you through the rest, sorry not sure where Mikie went, hope this helps.
