Guest Ed Meza Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 Hello, I just upgraded from version 1.4 to 1.5 Problem(s): 1) It takes about 2 minutes to get the Spybot screen loaded before it shows on the computer screen. 2) I honestly don't know what settings I should have on/off. 3) Thinking of uninstalling version 1.5 & going back to version 1.4. Any ideas as of why the new version is such a hog on computer resources? Way too slow to load. Also, what's the best way to go back to the older version - without affecting any files that might be left over throughout the system/registry. Thanks, Ed

Guest Heather Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 Re: Spybot S&D Hi Ed..... After reading thru the link Zee gave, I would suggest you uninstall the new version and go back to the old one. I assume you have a copy of an unopened version 1.4. If not, go to oldversion.com and get one. http://www.oldversion.com/program.php?n=spybot If you prefer to wait until one of the gurus from over the Pond arises and has a jolt or two of caffeine, OK. Otherwise, I would say go to Control Panel and Add/Remove and take it out of there. I always go thru my registry and also my hard drive (via Windows Explorer) and remove any blatant leftovers of whatever it is I am removing.......but I do it ever so carefully. In fact I don't mess with most of it.

Guest Ed Meza Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 Re: Spybot S&D Thank you for the info Zee. It's good to know that there are *gurus* in this NG who know the answers. I appreciate it. Hi Heather! Apparently there is a patch on the way for version 1.5, so I will wait a week or so. Otherwise, I will follow your advice. *Note that there is another issue* with Spybot 1.5 - This has something to do with the immunization process. I noticed that NOT ALL THE FILES are protected. This wasn't so with 1.4 Thanks again, Ed "Heather" <figgyd@nospam.invalid> wrote in message news:uXVrdTwBIHA.484@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > Hi Ed..... > > After reading thru the link Zee gave, I would suggest you uninstall the > new version and go back to the old one.

What specifically are the improvements to be expected from the 'fix'? I didn't detect any better loading speed than 2 min. and everything else was the same as before in ver. 1.5, including immunizations. Personally I am looking forward to seeing the loading speed reduced to at least 0.5 min. Thanks for the link.

Guest oops!! Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 Re: Spybot S&D Harry, and others, In my case that fix was enough to reduce the start delay to a few seconds compared to over 1 minute. Your options: a) Revert to previous version of Spybot S&D (specially if running Win9x systems); b) Wait for an update with all fixes; c) Go through some beta testing: http://forums.spybot.info/project.php?issueid=76 It seems this new version was 1 step forward and 2 backwards. :( Zee "webster72n" <webster72n@gmail.com> wrote in message news:usGFpO7BIHA.1188@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > > "oops!!" <notme@nowhere.com> wrote in message > news:%23Y2Ogm5BIHA.6012@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... >> Ed, >> >> Thank you for your comments. >> >> Added info: I am running the Beta test version for this issue: >> > http://www.safer-networking.org/files/beta/SpybotSD.exe-1.5.1.16-2007-09-24-issues-76-78-79-84-85.zip >> >> Without any issues.

Guest webster72n Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 Re: Spybot S&D Zee: After giving it a lot of thought, I decided to stick with the latest version. The delay in loading is made up by the improvements to immunnizations etc. A matter of personal preference, I suppose. Harry.

Guest webster72n Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Re: Spybot S&D Didn't need any Beta fixes, Zee and am hoping that they eventually shorten the extensive loading time, as promised by a top team member in their forum.
