Spybot update might be broken

It's speculated that the next version of the program (ver 1.3) may be released in March.

Beta 6 has been available for a day or two.

Okay you can have your yabbie, but only if you explain that 'icons for blind users' business that seems to have reappeared :eek2: :D

Oooo ! & a registry 'backup' feature has appeared ! .. 'Immunise' though has gone 'mad' & now says get 'SpywareBlaster' as an active x 'blocker' - any thoughts ?

I also was wondering (along with a customer) the other day, just what icons for blind users are, and how that works?

I am thinking maybe this guy is onto something.
MP3 files for deaf users perhaps?

older versions of S&D would notice when you have spyware blaster installed and prompt you to use it. It does a great job blocking the junk to begin with.

Ta Craig ;) ... what I'm getting at is that Spybot had an 'immunise' feature built in, besides it knowing if spywareblaster was installed seperately (Immunise was a Java class downloaded & kept to block out known bad active x/java stuff) - so once upon a time you pressed 'immunise' & it (spybot) did what spywareblaster does now even if it wasn't installed seperately ..

So in a very confus-ed manner (since my brain won't work at all this morning :rolleyes: ) - what I'm asking is - has this built-in protection 'gone' & so now I must go get the seperate 'thingee' (which just seems to be the same idea but is now a completely seperate product?) - so why does the immunise feature still exist in spybot then ? ..

I hope you can figure that out ! I just read it back & its 'terrible' even for me ... gonna go drink a gallon of coffee ! :D

ditto ... that's why only one of my two brain cells will engage ... I'm going back to bed, whether its now the afternoon, or not !

I'll come back when I've recovered & see if I can figure out what the hell I'm talking about ... :rolleyes:

Immunize is still there. They have just moved the button up top.

It always mentioned SpywareBlaster too.
