Spybot S&D Allow Change Problem

Jeni · External Since: May 28, 2005 Posts: 6

Hi all

I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me how to
sort out the following problem:

In the last couple of weeks, when I run Spybot and it
detects a change in the startup page, I am unable to allow
the change. The check box in the pop-up window on the
right-hand side of the system tray, whether checked or
unchecked, and the window then closed, always disallows the
change. The button which should allow the change also seem
to be faulty i.e. overlapping parts of the window itself.
I vaguely remember reading a post to this ng about this
problem some time ago and wondered if someone might have a
solution.

Thanks.

I noticed the same problem, just a few minutes
ago,
when I was adding to the parameters of eTrust.
Click-on button, lower right is faulty on mine
too.
I can't even tell what clicking on it is supposed
to do.

Hi Sylvia

Maybe someone else will help us! The buttons are supposed
to say "Allow change" and "Deny Change" to Start Page or
whatever - at least they did when I first d/l the program.
I'm sure a few weeks ago someone in this ng said the writers
of Spybot were actually aware of the problem, but I wonder
if they're going to fix it or not? Help.... anyone,
please?

The authors of Sbybot are aware of the problem and have been for sometime. I
believe that they originally said that it would be fixed in the next
release, which seems not to have been.

I think you have your line wrap set to 50 and it is doing odd things to
the posts you are quoting.

Hi all

To all who replied to my post. Thanks so much for all your
help. I tried the link mentioned by "Stubble" and yes it
does work! I am really very grateful. Didn't even know
there were forums there. They make interesting reading and
I've learnt a bit more. Wish there were forty-eight hours
in a day or, better still, that it wasn't necessary for us
to unglue our squared eyes from these machines that we've
all become so attached to, so our grey matter can
regenerate! Great news group! Thanks again.

So what was the link mentioned by "Stubble" ? I don't see that post.
