Thanks Randy.

I get no new immunisations this time round (version 1.4)

 

[Randy Knobloch]

Thank you Randy. Appreciated.

No problem, Stu - thanks the "thumb-up"...

Randy

 

[Randy Knobloch]

Thanks Randy. You're most welcome, Alan.
I get no new immunisations this time round (version 1.4)

You should have - re-immunize several times ought to do it.
PING me if no joy.

[Alan]

Hi Randy,

Like Alan D, I had no additional immunizations after downloading the latest
definitions.

I've tried immunizing 5 times, and I keep receiving the same message as I
did the first time I tried to immunize: "All known bad products are already
blocked."

There are 39808 bad products blocked.

Alan

 

[Alan D]

Immunising several times, I still kept getting the 'all bad products already
blocked' message, Randy - 39808 altogether.

Is something wrong, do you think?

 

[Alan D]

I get 39808 too, Alan, after several immunisations that didn't seem to
achieve anything.

Are you still using version 1.4, like me?

 

[Alan]

Hi Alan D,

Yes, I'm still using v 1.4.

Alan

I get 39808 too, Alan, after several immunisations that didn't seem to
achieve anything.

[Alan D]

Ah! I wonder if Randy is talking about 1.5?

Incidentally, Alan - have you noticed any change in the duration of a Spybot
scan at any time in the last couple of months? A scan used to take about 6
minutes on my machine, but now it takes about 20, and I haven't made any
substantial changes. I only use it once a week (when it updates), and I've
no idea when this change occurred. Is it just me?

 

[Alan]

Hello Alan,

No, it's not just you. On my newest (6 months old Dell) machine, with dual
processing and 2 Gb ram, the scan time used to be about 5 minutes. Now it's
easily close to 15 -- or more.

Alan

 

[Alan D]

That's very useful to know, Alan - thanks very much.

i took 1.5 off because it was taking too long to scan

You mean, even longer than 1.4 is now taking? We two Alans are both getting
scans taking 15-20 mins with 1.4 (whereas it used to take 5 or 6 minutes).
Was 1.5 even slower than that, Robin?

 

[robinb]

yes 1.5 was even slower
