A friend has d/loaded latest version of spybot on 2 occasions
(uninstalled and reinstalled) for their XP computer , but after
installing , theres nothing in the left hand window (such as
tools,settings,excludes etc which i have in w98) , only donation and
update.Anyone with any experience of this happening? and a fix for it.

Yep, it's in the help file. You're looking for advanced mode AIR

Thank you...that seems to have done the trick.She has been using desktop
shortcut icon to open it so never opened from there.I didnt know that was
there either.

I think initially adaware only targeted adware, where as spybot targeted
other malware such as newdotnet which which isnt adware as such but more
of a security issue , as it downloads and installs silently updating
itself.In my opinion its sensible to have the two.

Go to Start/Programs (All Programs in XP) and you should find three options:
Easy Mode
Advanced Mode
Uninstall Spybot
The Advanced Mode should give you the left hand panel you require.
(I only found this out recently after someone in ACF asked a similar
question)
