Spybot
A bit late to the party on this one - I've been checking with a couple of
contacts. Unfortunately, They've never seen that error message either :( However, they did suggest that you might want to post to the Spybot help forums - http://forums.spybot.info/forumdisplay.php?f=4 and ask for assistance there - make sure that you emphasise that you're using ME!!

Spybot
Whether anyone wants this info or not I'm gonna post it anyway!
To run Spybot S&D from a thumb drive you need Spybot S&D/aports.dll Spybot S&D/blindman.exe Spybot S&D/Default configuration.ini Spybot S&D/DelZip179.dll Spybot S&D/messages.zres Spybot S&D/OptOut.ini Spybot S&D/SDFiles.exe Spybot S&D/SDMain.exe Spybot S&D/sqlite3.dll Spybot S&D/Tools.dll Spybot S&D/Update.exe Spybot S&D/Updates/*.* (minus the zips) Spybot S&D/Plugins/*.* Spybot S&D/Languages/*.* (minus the language files you don't need) Spybot S&D/Includes/*.* Spybot S&D/Dummies/*.* Some of these files will be optional but it is so long since I set it up I don't remember the details! But if you put said files on a USB stick you can run Spybot by double-clicking SDMain.exe, and run Immunize, Update (updating the correct, thumb drive installation - manually deleting the zips in the Updates folder when the update is complete if space is at a premium), run scans, and fix identified problems, without installing it on the computer. To run SpywareBlaster from a thumb drive copy over: SpywareBlaster\ckdatabase.dtb SpywareBlaster\MSCOMCTL.OCX SpywareBlaster\rsdatabase.dtb SpywareBlaster\sbversion5.txt SpywareBlaster\sbdatabase2.dtb SpywareBlaster\sbdatabaseinf.dtb SpywareBlaster\sbdatabaseinf2.dtb SpywareBlaster\sbhelp.chm SpywareBlaster\sbinfo.dtb SpywareBlaster\license.txt SpywareBlaster\readme.txt SpywareBlaster\spywareblaster.exe SpywareBlaster\SQLite3SB.dll SpywareBlaster\sbdatabase.dtb SpywareBlaster\customblocking.txt (if in use) and it too updates the thumb drive installation no problem. I'm not aware of any functions that do not run from a thumb drive. Shane SGB wrote: I want to thank all of you who made suggestions. I completely uninstalled Spybot, again.

Yes, I know I am asking for a lot, but all I want to do is protect what has served me so well since April of 2001. This group is awesome. You are so very helpful and have been throughout the years. I have much appreciation for your knowledge, effort and time with every message I ever posted. SGB "Peter Hnnurrtner" wrote in message ... Also a-squared can be run from a usb stick: http://download1.emsisoft.com/a2usb.zip (as indeed can Spybot and SpywareBlaster - you just copy their program files contents over less certain components, such as uninstall information or in Spybot's case quite a bit more. If interest is shown I'll post a list of the files required to run SpywareBlaster and Spybot from a usb thumb drive). Shane (snipped to shorten content) |

You'd be well advised to follow Shane's suggestions in his last post, SGB. Otherwise you just may have to 'upgrade'. On the other hand your risk of infection is low with ME and can be controlled fairly successful by exercising 'Safe Hex'. What you are asking cannot be accomplished with only one program. Best of luck, Harry. "SGB" wrote in message ... I want to thank all of you who made suggestions. I completely uninstalled Spybot, again.
