Default Spybot S&D


Hi Heather, hi Jeanette.

All the downloads are optional in the sense that you do have to tick them.

One of the updates was run in DOS and because it was on the background
couldn't read it. That's not uncommon.

Will try to read it when updating my home system.

Cheers,

Zee

now,, jean got question about latest spybot update...
i just did it, and noticed "detections library support" and
it wasnt ticked as a d/l. thought about it for a second,
and decided that it seemed like something i should have....
so while the other two downloads were happening, i put
a tick in the box to have it too.
Q: seemed to me to be a good thing,, anyone else agree?


Didn't see what you saw.....all I remember is there were 4 boxes to tick
off.

Q: if it was a good thing, why wasnt it ticked like the obvious
others??


See above.....

Q: if anyone else d/l'ed it,,,,, did your screen flash to a 'dos'
screen
informing you that something had been downloaded to your
puter?? then take you back to windows gui for spybot?
(also, were you taken to a different server for that particular
update? it happened a bit too quick for me to notice as i was
doing something else at the time also)


Yep.....surprised me too (DOS screen). I have seen it *flash* before, but
never stay up there like that and then a restart for Spybot. I always use
one in the US to download from, btw.

this is what happened to J.....
would like to know about this if anyone had similar.
cheers to all......


Cheers to you too.......
