?? Whats the deal with Spybot Instal 160
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.

?? Whats the deal with Spybot Instal 160
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. jeanette wrote: 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......?

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.

Sorry you had sooo much trouble with 'Spybot', jeanette, but glad you finally got it. Dial-up is slow, I know, but it's better than nothing. If you can't see something, check 'all' your settings in OE, especially 'View', as Mewtwo already suggested. You'll get there, I'm sure. Harry.

If Spybot SD is working now, don't allow auto updates. Take in only what you
need. If you can do without Tea Timer you might be better off. -- I mastered Wordstar graphics!

Didn't know there was auto updating in this program, and I am sure she can do without it and she 'will be better off'. H. -- I mastered Wordstar graphics!
