thank you harry and web.....
i have gone ahead and installed sbsd,,,,, but boy oh boy,, did i take the long flippin' road.
it all started a few days ago when i was getting new defs',, then sbsd said i should d/l the newer
version,, to whit, i said 'yes',, but somewhere in those few minutes, i messed up by
cancelling it...... (i think it was when i dropped a fork on the keyboard... ha ha... but
seriously)
so, i went to sbsd, and d/loaded all 14.4meg of it,, sigh,, (dialup) and when i fired it up......
well, you guys know the rest. (am still not happy with the wing-dings and references to his
girlfri3end.... doesnt he realise that those two scenarios were enough to put me off,, and i
am a reasonably experienced user too... god help the newbie!)

anyhow, to something i mentioned in reply to other thread.... i Still cant see any of My
posts,,,, am simply replying to what i do s4ee... any ideas from you web or harry? got me
beat why i cant see them,, time for a 'siiiiiigh'.

J
(oh,, dont forget also, that i flamin' well d/loaded it twice,, at 14.4meg on dialup....
grrrrrrrr....!!!!!)

The issue with SpyBot needing to DL files during install is normal. It can
be frustrating if you're on dial-up. Also, I think it allows uyou to choose
what language you want the installer to be in. That may get rid of the
strange characters. I noticed that myself when I instaled on this machine.
So far, no problems.

hi,, has been a while....

recently i got msg from spybot to install version 160, but after the
prelimanaries while installing, i
noticed lots of 'wing-dings and Chinese or Korean stuff',,,, i cancelled
immediately.
i d/loaded it from a different site, and while installing, noticed the same
at the same config
dialogue box......? (also noticed something about the author saying it is
dedicated to the 'best
girl in the world' or similar,, of which i had to tick 'i agree'.

am i missing something? is there a scam going down? i am not in
the habit of allowing
stuff i don't understand to be on my puter. i even got to the point
of installing 25% of it,,
(of which i cancelled and will be rebooting after sending this).

also, SpyBot is saying it needs web access to d/l 'other' files to my
computer during
installation...... I've never ever heard of that scenario before.

help appreciated.
