jeanette:

You don't need to be in fear of the 'Spybot - S&D', it is a solid program in
it's devision and I for one like it a lot. Just make sure to follow
instructions and 'immunize', either before downloading updates and at least
twice afterwards,
until you have zero 'Unprotected' items.
If I remember correctly, uninstall of the older version is also automatic,
in order to maintain your previous settings.
Hope this helps,

Harry.

hi,, has been a while....

recently i got msg from spybot to instal version 160, but after the
prelimarys 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 congfig
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 misssing something? is there a scam going down? i am not
in the habit of allowing
stuff i dont 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
installationn...... i've never ever heard of that scenario before.

help appreciated.
