SpyBot Search & Destroy v0.92 released

Ja, that catches alot of people. The image is in your clipboard, and you must paste it into MS paint or some image editor.

 

@CheckOut: please get the new release 0.93 I just put online, that should fix this problem.

Get it at: http://patrick.kolla.de/software/files/spybotsd.zip

Sorry I didn't read this before, I'm in my own forum most of the time.

 

Thanks, will do.  

 

why is there spy ware in searh in destroy comet cursor remakes it self several times when you run it i cought it with adwatch lol even after i cleand it out it remakes it self when i run spybot search and destroy

 

Sorry, under .93 the E/A fehler 32 still occurs.

Any thoughts?

 

Have you checked to make sure you have completely ridded yourself of CometCursor. It is a very persistent little bug. Have you checked for BHO's (Browser Helper Objects)

Run BHOCaptor http://www.net-integration.net/downloads/bhoc.zip

You may find a bho key with no property value which would need to be deleted. That would  be the little CC bugger. If you find it that is likely the culprit.

 

About I/O Error 32:

Please try an move the SpybotSD.logs.sbb to another directory temporarily, and tell me if the error still occurs when this file is no longer in SpybotSD's dir.

Maybe there are even more files that can't be moved. I've just changed my exception handling again a little bit, please have a look for a new beta at my forum in a few hours.

 

Oh, I have to laugh...I've just realised that E/A is Deutsch for I/O (Einfarht/Ausfarht!)  

Please excuse any bad spelling - it's been a while since I lived in Germany!

I'll try what you told me a little later on.  Many thanks.

 

You can find a new beta now at my http://www.net-integration.net/cgi-bin/forums/ikonboard.cgi?s=3c863c5428caffff;act=SC;c=7.
If Spybot can't open those files now, they'll get the red error sign (like all problems that cannot be fixed) instead of any error message.

 

I moved SpybotSD.logs.sbb as you suggested, but it didn't help.  Is it worthwhile trying the latest beta?

 

I just made some more changes to avoid such errors during detection, see the newest beta over at my forum (there's a topic for beta of 0.93+).

Maybe you should delete Spybots .log file (if existent), turn on the log option in spybot and make a copy of the log once the error msg appears. then send me that log, with that I could easily find the place were the error appears.

But to make sure I'm looking at the right place:
- do you mean when Spybot searches while system (Windows) boot?
- or do you mean while Spybot is fixing when run at system boot?
- or do you mean Spybot's search during program start?

 

I'm not sure what you mean.  I have SpyBotSD autostarted.  The first thing that happens is a pop-up say "E/A fehler 32" then a window showing an empty exclusion list.  I click okay on the failure message, exit on the window, and another small window pops up (in German - a long word  with lots of "g"s) and finally it opens another window where I see items to be fixed.

Does that help?  (And how do I turn on the log option, please?  I'm at work at the moment so I can't check it.)

 

Thanks, that details help a lot. I think I now know when the errors appears.

If you saw that errors before the progress bar appeared, it must have been before Spybot checked the system. But until then, Spybot opens only its own files, and that files shouldn't be opened by any other application for read/write access (I/O error 32 appears when two apps try to gain write access to on file).

I now made all of Spybot's file operations strictly read only, and tried to catch even more errors. I'll upload the next beta later, right now I'm trying to fix the latest uninstall bug, too.



btw: the log function is under Settings/Settings. It doesn't log the results (you can save those in the context-menu of the results list), but what has been checked. That way, if the program crashes I can find the bug by simply looking which was the last entry of that log.

 

Next beta is uploaded now!
If that doesn't fix it, don't hesitate to write again, I want to find that bug!

 

I won't be able to download it until Tuesday, unfortunately.  As soon as I can, I will.  Thanks for all the effort.  Oh, and do you have a direct link to it, please?
