Spybot S&D updates???

Amen to that Mart!!

Top posting is so much easier than scrolling through things you have already
looked at - and there are some very long narratives..... I also use OE and
it is not a big deal to look at the posts up above, if needed.

Good for you HL, but H replied :-

They are doing it in other NG's

Doesn't mean to say they are right (or wrong) though Harry.

For many years, top posting has long been the convention (for the very
many
well argued and documented reasons) in the WinMe NG's.

FWIW - I'm sticking to top posting - I (try to) follow threads from their
start and can't be doing with having to scroll and wade thru' stuff that
I've already ready read to get to the end for the next instalment. If I
need
a reminder, I just look at the top of the previous post. Seems to be so
logical. Maybe because I use OE.

Bottom postings are for the lazy (or latecomers, who should still be able
to
follow top postings)

I feel a lot better for that.

He probably was thinking of Ad-Aware, H, because it works just fine
with
WinME. But one must not forget to immunize, before and after
downloading
definitions and before a scan.

Harry.

Good point, Harry. After an update, it is just an 'automatic' thing
for
me
to immunize and then hit 'check again' just to be sure. I'm kinda like
'ct'
in one of the other threads, in that, I have never had Adaware or
Spybot
find anything. Of course, I attribute that to having the router and
the
'protection' apps.........none of which are worth anything if not kept
up-to-date and used on a regular basis. I'm preaching to the choir, I
know,
but, I have seen waaaay too many folks get a new computer and jump
right
on
the Net before setting up an AV, firewall, etc. and then wonder why
they
have problems. There are those that should NOT have a computer, at
least,
not without constant supervision, g.
Heirloom, old and probably needs
supervision
BTW, did you notice the bottom posts?
Rather strange for me!

They are doing it in other NG's and I am not offended by it as much as
Shane
is, but 'strange'? Yes. Maybe this will 'iron it out'!
Could use a little 'supervision' myself.

Harry.

When you're scrolling by using the touchpad on a notebook computer, reading
bottom posts is a PITA.

----------------------------------------

Truth be known, top posting is my preference, as well. If a body is
following a thread, it makes no sense to have to wade through the whole
thing to get to the latest entry. Like Mart and Ed, if I happened to miss
something, it ain't no big deal to peek at a previous post or scroll down a
little, if needed.

One thing for sure, the Me NG has never really subcribed to convention (the
main reason I like it so much). And, my short times in the XP NG's were not
a pleasant experience........they aren't THAT bad, it's just that I had
already become accustomed to the great folks and 'family' warmth that is the
Me NG......not to mention, this is where all the 'real gurus' hang out. I
owe the vast majority of what I know about computers to this group.....in
fact, I have come to the point that I no longer tie up my limited memory
with the little things, knowing I can come here and reclaim anything I need.
Once again, my hat if off to the wonderful MS MVP's and all those that ought
to carry the title. The Me NG is the friendliest and most knowledgeable of
them all!!

When visiting Windows|Microsoft Update the error code 0x80070020 has
been associated with Spybot Search and Destroy's TeaTimer being Enabled.
I'm not certain if this is when using V. 1.4.0.3 or the latest Beta version.
Anyone else encounter this issue with TeaTimer Enabled ?
