277455 2004-10-02 05:30:00 Hello every one :)

Iam running Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.2 , & every time I tell it to find new updates it does not find any?!?!

I know there is Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.3 but is that still in beta????? If not why have they not add it to the update list for Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.2?????

As I would expect there would be a lot of peplum running Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.2 & that they did not know about 1.3

Also how stable is Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.3????? has any one had any problems at all with it?????

make sure you download updates when asked to during install as there are some new definitions available that aren't included in the latest release

Even so why have they not add it to the update list for Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.2????? As I said above I would expect there would be a lot of people running Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.2 & that they did not know about 1.3

277461 2004-10-02 05:54:00 You'll be waiting a long time for 1.3 to appear in 1.2. As 1.2 as already stated wont be updated. 1.3.1 now, as I just found out is out. Which fixes the DSO and the Xabot issue. Guess you'll haveta stay with 1.2 Spacemannz (808)

Suit youself, but I hope you'll be happy with an unupdateable ver1.2 for the few millenium as they "are NOT supplying updates for ver1.2 anymore"
There was a notice on the website a while back, but it's gone now.

277463 2004-10-02 06:55:00 Hi Stu, unless you want to stick with the old version you're best to follow the link provided and download a fresh install of 1.3. 1.3 is (apparently) a new build which simply cannot be updated from 1.2. There won't be any further updates for 1.2 - so you will be waiting a while my friend. I'm highly doubtful that you would have recieved spyware in a previous product / release from the genuine Spybot (created by Patrick Kolla) - are you sure you didn't download a cloned product in error?

I removed Spybot 1.3 tonight as it got a bit slow and heavy, then downloaded the same version again from the Shinobi Resources mirror site.

Installed, updated and ran the new installation. Went smoothly. No bugs etc were found. All is well. Although it still won't let me download the latest update.

I still think its really worth having for protection.
