Re: Ok so I installed Spybot, now help me please.
OK Ken, This one I do know!<br /><br />Find the icon on your desktop for SpyBot, right click on it, left click on Properties.<br />See up on the command line the path to the program?? It should end with "/easymode" <br /><br />Remove the forward slash and the word easymode and click apply.<br /><br />Now run Spybot from the desktop icon.<br />You should now have full menus on the left hand side. Go into settings and find just about everything you ever wanted to set in SpyBot. It beats me why they would default to "Easy" mode (less menu options). Probably as not to scare most folks off by all of the options....<br /><br />BTW, The update thing for the 'includes' file (bugs it looks for) seems to have a problem with some folks that are using proxy settings within MIE (Microsoft Internet Explorer).<br /><br />It's sometimes easier to goto the Spybot website and just do a direct D/L of the 'update' file. After you get the file saved to your HD, just double click on the file and it will install itself into Spybot.<br /><br />When you get SB running and while doing a scan, look in the lower left of your screen. You will see it counting off. The number after the "/" is the number of bugs it's searching for. If this number is in the low 5000 range, you don't have the latest "includes" file installed. The newest "includes" file has about 12,000 entries.<br /><br />Be sure you look on the left hand side menus for "Immunize", and turn on both options within, this can prevent a browser hijack.
