SpyBot Updating

This is probably going to sound like a stupid question. But here goes, when i do an update on spybot, and it gives me a list of items. Should i be updating all the files or should i be looking for certain ones.

Also after a scan how do i know what i should and shouldnt delete from what is found.

 

Yet another llama?.....

You should download all updates, except for the 1.0 Program Update, which is the one you're running already.

In fact, you can rightclick that one, and choose 'exclude'.

If all you're interested in is removing spyware, foistware, keyloggers, and the like, which is after all what really counts, go to the Settings tab > File Sets, and uncheck 'System Internals' and 'Tracks' .

You can always experiment with those later on.

You should now end up with a much smaller list of search results.

Have SB remove everything. It should be OK.

And besides, it does make backups of everything it removes.

 

what is a llama? (other than the animal)

 

<-- agast! I am a llama now!

 

Why can't I be a llama as well?

It's just the animal.

The Tibetan spiritual leader's title is spelled with just 1 'L'.

 

A "llama" is the caption that goes with your pic in your profile. Go to your profile and update or change it. See mine? (It's on the list of stuff near the bottom of the page. The place setting caption is "I am a llama!" You still have it if you haven't changed it, nor put in a pic.)

Tony? You could become the new Dialup Llama! LOL!

 

Thank you!

As you see I've just updated my personal text.

 

Phazor - Usually, I right-click on and exclude language updates. Since all I'm speaking/understanding is English, I don't really need them. I take ALL the other updates, though. HTH Pete

 

Yep, I forgot about the languages. Thanks!

About the program update though, I absentmindedly downloaded and installed it, restarted Spybot, and Spybot.exe was gone...

I had to reinstall.

It also says somewhere that it's only for people running a version lower than 1.0, which stands to reason.

Cheers, Tony

 

So llama is what you call n00bs? Why not another animal like a billy goat? or a donkey?

most odd!

 

No mystery - just 195o's rock'n'roll. Lamma-lamma-bing-bang. Showaddy. Shoop-shoop. Etcetera.

 

As you all can see "Im not a llama anymore" Thank you for pointing out the fact that i was in fact a llama. Im going to be working on a suitable personal text message. Until then "Im not a llama anymore". Couldnt find any good pic's that would go along with "phazor" where can i find more pics on the net.?
