    Hi All,
    Non Tech head here. I’ve had Spybot S+D for a couple of years. My computer runs 24hrs and about a year ago I was well pleased with myself when I ‘eventually’ managed to set S+D to update at 2am and run at 2.30am.;)

    Over recent weeks I began to wonder ‘a little more’ :confused:why the first screen you see when you launch S+D used to be there in the morning when I got up. I used to put it down to the fact that I probably didn’t set it to close after it did its job during the night. After more recent investigations I came to the alarming conclusion that My S+D had in fact not been doing its job for the past year :eek:


    I had set S+D to update at 2am
    I had set S+D to run at 2.30 thinking that it was going to scan my computer, wrong. That setting only ‘Launches’ S+D (hence that screen I referred to earlier). You need to find another box to tick for it to actually scan!!!.:o

    I have always found S+D a little difficult to navigate and select various features and settings etc and so I hope that this posting may help other ‘Non Tech’ heads such as myself to watch out for this one.
