Spybot has a game?

Did anybody else notice this game hidden within Spybot Search & Destroy?
Too bad there aren't any other games, at least I don't think there are (hmmm....)! Or at least pictures, if you play this one you'll know what I'm talking about.

 

What version of Spybot do you have? I don't have a hidden game. I use 1.3.1 TxT version.

I just checked for updates and the only thing offered is a skin for color blind persons? That seems a bit odd. The current definitions are over two weeks old and it is more important to offer a skin for color blind persons instead of new definitions? I don't see the point in offering any skins actually.

 

I can't find it in 1.3....

 

I think that colorblind skin update is pretty old. Probably older than the definitions file. If you just install it or set it to exclude it shouldn't show up anymore. Sorry didn't mean to get your guy's hopes up, it looks like my friend here on 1.3.1 TX doesn't have it either just on 1.4. Ooops

 

And how is the game played? I too discovered its existence by chance a while ago, but couldn't figure out how it works.

 

There is a game in spybot Strange, whats the point?

Apparantly you move like a knight would in chess from the first square in the corner there. Each square you uncover reveals more of the picture. You keep going until you uncover it or you can't move no more.

That's what I was wondering myself, Jimbob and was hoping this thread could help.

 

How do you get to it? where is it?

Jimbob

 

You click the little icon next to the "title" of the window (see attached screenshot). You can open the game from any "page" of the programme.

Ah! Thank you. Now I see... Heh, I'm not surprised to see this particular picture here.

BTW, anyone heard the "Search & Destroy" song? (there's a link at the official Spybot site).

 

Yes, I have now, thanks. It's pretty funny.

As long as we got a Spybot discussion going here, does anyone know what happened to the LSP detections (see screenshot)? I don't know how long it's been this way but definitely with the latest update (March 3).

 

If anyone wants the game ... you can DL it from Spybot's homepage - http://www.safer-networking.org/en/tools/index.html
Or Direct DL - http://www.safer-networking.org/files/KHsetup.zip

And you can DL the song from here - http://www.mp3.com.au/track.asp?id=97566

Uh... just checked my LSP list and it's empty, too.

 

It's an easter egg! Type "about:mozilla" in Firefox for another.

 

I haven't yet got that 3 march update.....will post after I do.

 

Yep.....mine are gone too now! What gives?

 

In the full 1.4 Beta2 version they have removed the LSP tab all together and relocated the 5 LSP items shown in post # 12 to different sections as of March 3 update.

prior LSP tab entries:
CommonName=Spybots tab
JimmySurf=Spybots tab
New.Net=Spybots tab
webHancer=Spybots tab

ShopAtHome=Hijackers tab

 

Thanks for that info Bubba!

 

Yes, that does explain it. Thanks for the info!

 

Does anyone know what's up with the Revisions tab? Is that stuff that will be removed upon Team Spybot's revision of the programs? Or the Possibly UnPopular Software? What's that about?

 

Anyone have an English translation for the help file for the game? The illustrations don't quite do it.

Edit: I got the idea just from playing. I made 46 moves and then I think the error message is saying the game is over? I can't see another move. I backed myself into a corner I think. The game is fun.

 

You should be able to select Language of English via the Game and the Help file(KnightHopEN.chm) will be in English

 

you move the pic just the same as a knight on a chess board and uncover the picture

I did select English but the help file is not in English. Maybe I should try reinstalling it.

 

You selected English when you were installing....or you selected the Language while in the Game ?
