Spybot S&D 1.3 beta 6
I have been using the beta version and I am very impressed with the new features. It also blocks 1,528 bad products over 1000 more that the 1.2 version.

Thanks, IWM.

I had been using SB S&D 1.2 and AdAware. I ran both, and each indicated my machine was clean.

Then I downloaded SP S&D 1.3 beta and ran it. It immunized against an additional 900 bad guys. Then I did a scan, and it found about 40 pieces of junk that were missed by the earlier version and AdAware (mostly cookies, but a few registry keys).

Was looking at it and seen that the host file was not listed so update your host file.
Also had to install things again on the immunized page.

Apparently it deletes things from MS Windows Media Player that track you? Cool

I'm just curious, why isn't this 1.3 beta version available at Spybot S&D download site?

The beta is a option to download I guess is why Gojo.

When you click on the update button the beta will only show up if you have it checked in your setting. Same with skins.

Hello Joe,

That is a very good question.

And how many versions of this are to be created, instead of updating the database of the current one?

I found the beta 1.3 here but then I expect you did too - that the 'home' site doesn't offer it makes me question the whole thing. Just as yourself.

Cheers, Joe.

I deleted my former version totally. Including all the Registry entries for it. Just a habit I have. I use jv16pt from here:

and RegSeeker from here:
