Guest Heather Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 Just saw this on the antivirus news group. I have downloaded it, but I am not opening it until I am sure the bugs (if any) are ironed out. Team Spybot has finished version 1.5 http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html Heather

Uninstalling old versions is not strictly necessary, since the update will replace all important files. Only if you do not like to end up with two entries in the Uninstall list, you should uninstall any older version. So it's a YES, uninstall old version. Zee

Guest Heirloom Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 Re: New Version of Spybot. Hey Zee, Well, no problems with the new version of Spybot here (working on XP and Vista). However, I did the 'over install' and, like you said, ended up with two entries in the Uninstall app. Is my only choice to perform an uninstall on each and reinstall to correct the dual entry?? I may have a peek in the Reg to see if I can find the extra entry.....can this be resolved with a Reg tweak??

Guest oops!! Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 Re: New Version of Spybot. Hi, Have you tried uninstalling the older version in Add/Remove Programs? Not sure if this will cleanup the entry but worth trying. There are registry cleaners that can take care of that, but I wonder if you want to go down that route.

Guest Heirloom Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 Re: New Version of Spybot. Very reluctant on the Regedit at this point. I have found the entry in the Reg and it relates to ver 1.4, no mention of 1.5! Also, in the Spybot folder, there are two each of the <unins000.dat and unins000.exe> files, two are dated from the install of v1.4 and the other two from the date of the 1.5 install. I may just try to uninstall from Add or Remove on both entries and reinstall the app.....probably the safest thing to do. I figure if the app is already uninstalled the second uninstall entry will time out and maybe just go away??

Guest oops!! Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 Re: New Version of Spybot. Heirloom, I believe that if you double-click the old Add/Remove Programs entry it will try to uninstall and failing it will ask if you want to delete that entry. Worth trying. Regarding registry "cleaners" I also do not recommend them.

Guest Heirloom Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 Re: New Version of Spybot. Well, this was much easier than I thought.....I simply used jv16 Power Tools and removed the extra entry for the v1.4 from the Add/Remove Programs list. Worked like a champ. I went ahead with some manual cleaning while I was there, all is well.

Guest webster72n Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 Re: New Version of Spybot. That's all well and good, Heirloom, but you also lost any settings you did establish in the 1.4 version, including backups or log files. When I started to remove the older version, I was made aware of tose facts and therefore I installed the newer version 1.5 aside of its predecessor with no ill side effects. In Add/Remove ver.1.4 is still there and ver.1.5 is listed as only Spybot -Search & Destroy, without 1.5, but that's no problem. Everything else works 'lovely', including the improved and now flawless immunization process. Harry.

Guest Heirloom Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 Re: New Version of Spybot. Hate to burst your bubble, Harry, but, all of my settings were intact. I installed v1.5 over v1.4, the only problem was the dual entry in the Add/Remove of CP. I would think that removing v1.4 first is what would result in the loss of settings, logs and backups. So, if I understand you correctly, you still have both versions on your machine??.....and two entries in the Add/Remove?? I think I will stick with the single v1.5 and one entry in the Add/Remove.

Guest oops!! Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 Re: New Version of Spybot. To all: Be sure to immunize several times, it seems the immunization doesn't always fully "stick". I think it's Spyware Blaster related issue (as happened with older versions), but not totally sure, yet.

Guest Heirloom Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 Re: New Version of Spybot. Thanks, Zee. You are absolutely correct.....as usual. I checked mine and the 'cookies' immunization was lacking by 146. Didn't notice that when I first immunized or it reverted back somehow. Heirloom, old and so much for the 'improved and now flawless immunization process.'
