[Update] Spybot - Search & Destroy v1.4 RC1

[ArjanDotOrg]

Spybot - Search & Destroy v1.4 RC1


Overview :

Spybot - Search & Destroy can detect and remove spyware of different
kinds from your computer. Spyware is a relatively new kind of threat
that common anti-virus applications do not yet cover. If you see new
toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you didn't intentionally
install, if your browser crashes, or if you browser start page has
changed without your knowing, you most probably have spyware. But even
if you don't see anything, you may be infected, because more and more
spyware is emerging that is silently tracking your surfing behaviour to
create a marketing profile of you that will be sold to advertisement
companies. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm in trying to see if
something snooped into your computer, too

What's New:

* Added Opera folder profile directory
* Fixed default value handling in registry entry recovery
* Fixed always opening on settings page
* Fixed localization of IncludeServices checkbox
* Fixed status bar text after SysInternals scan
* Fixed Host Redirect fix result for duplicates
* Fixed another selection bug
* Added Save/Load View Report settings
* Improved proxy handling to allow @'s in username
* Protection of exclude lists against tampering
* Main app now can detect changes to itself
* New /unimmunize CLP
* Updated system startup database usage
* Made settings password dialog to masked
* Changed Immunization to use encrypted file

You forgot to mention that this is only a BETA.

No, not exactly. Read it again - RC1.

So what anyway? It works.

Cheers,

I have no idea what RC1 means, but the word BETA is right beside the name of
the program, and the letters are larger. So it is a beta release. Spybot
S&D's sight does not even offer it yet.

I believe RC1 stands for release candidate 1. I'm not sure how much
more ready for primetime a RC1 is than a beta, but I think there is
supposed to be a difference.
