Spybot S&D update
I don't run Win 9x so I can't verify for you how many unprotected
items there are prior to re-immunizing after applying the new update. Sorry about that.

Spybot S&D update
Thanks Silj, I already posted my inquiry there, hoping to get an answer soon. My immunization is up-to-date, for all I know. Harry. "siljaline" wrote in message ...

Spybot S&D update
I don't know who to respond to, but you're probably the most relevent,
Harry. The Win ME General alumni in this thread are using XP and you're using ME (although 98SE has the same no. of detections). I haven't installed the latest in 9x yet, but your figure is about right, so is in all probability *actually* right! Frankly I'm amazed to see so many folks using XP but advising on a ME group, and not knowing that there is a very large difference between the no. of Spybot detections in the two systems. Come on, alumniites! I feel like I must be in a minority of one booting both, here. Shane "webster72n" wrote in message ...

Spybot S&D update
Thank you, Shane, for setting things right. It deserves my utmost appreciation and which you have.. I will point Mike in this direction, if necessary Harry. "Shane" wrote in message ...

Spybot S&D update
I see a whole raft of posts in this thread that I initially missed, it would
seem, Harry. I see you'd already found out of the large disparity between 9x and XP. I remain astonished by the lack of awareness my friends showed here, though it's really only at how little they must use Win ME these days. It doesn't, of course, mean that they should not be advising here anymore, they still know more than most and without these guys this group would be just about dead. However, Mike was not one of those posting about Spybot S&D immunization anyway. Besides which the no. is a non-issue. As I've said before, most of you guys are getting a little obsessive about these security products, as though if you don't update right away, you *will* get infected! I almost never use Ad-aware or Spybot S&D, there is no need, they are *tools* to have just on the off-chance, not to run every week, or every other day. If you steer clear of crap, the only time you're likely to see these tools actually find something (other than Alexa Related or MRUs, which are par for the course) is when you run them on someone else's machine! They do not take the place of common-sense - and using common-sense you don't need them anyway. :-) Same goes for the paranoia infection! Isn't Mike commenting on your use of the word 'legal', Harry? I'm sure you don't mean it literally, but it is difficult to read your comment as other than in some way disdainful of those posting here yet no longer using ME, as though you might somehow, sooner-or-later end up infected by spyware in consequence. Still, it seems unlikely you meant that either - you have a curious turn of phrase, as indeed do I, so I understand perhaps a little more readily than most! But Mike was, I believe, demonstrating a very dry wit, as I hope I do too given the opportunity, so I can hardly condemn *him* for it. I hope that others appreciate that actually it's very pleasant laughing at oneself, an affirmation of one's maturity, self-assurance and ready wit! Harry, you use words like 'legal' in such a context and you 'ask for it'! Shane |

Spybot S&D update
I feel like I must be in a minority of one booting both, here.
I have a PC here that runs nothing other than Win Me and with IE5.5 SP2 at that (for support reasons). I also have virtual machines available running Win Me "out of the box" with no patches or updates (IE5.5 .100) and another fully patched VM with IE6 SP1 and WMP9. -- Mike Shane wrote: I don't know who to respond to, but you're probably the most relevent, Harry.

Never was a true word spoke in this NG. I also simply cannot understand why everyone seems to be obsessing about these various updates. I remember reading something about people in offices obsessing about having the latest data. It was a long time ago, possibly even before I started using computers. Anyhow it seems to me the same thing really. I almost never use Ad-aware or Spybot S&D, there is no need, they are *tools* to have just on the off-chance, not to run every week, or every other day. Indeed. Note how often I post to these update threads - not! g VBG Shane |

Spybot S&D update
I totally agree with you and run AdAware now and again. It only ever
catches one called "live365" which I often just delete in Windows Explorer. Other than that, nada. But I just keep it updated using 'herd instinct' I guess, lol. And what are you and Shane doing up at this hour?? Get to bed, young lads. Mom "Mike M" wrote in message ... Besides which the no. is a non-issue.
