Gisteren heeft Safer Networking de eerste release candidate van Spybot Search & Destroy versie 1.5 uitgebracht. Dit programma is in staat om de computer te controleren op aanwezigheid van spy-, ad- en malware en kan aangetroffen ongewenstheden vervolgens ook verwijderen. Daarnaast kan het programma ook aanpassingen aan het systeem maken die het spyware moeilijker maakt om op de computer te komen. De releasenotes van versie 1.5.1.14 laten de volgende collectie van bekende en reeds opgeloste problemen zien:
Known and fixed beta bugs:[break]
- On Windows 95 B (not C) with old libraries, the background color "info background" (usually a light yellow) is not known, this crashes RichEdit controls. Either fix or MS update required.
- TeaTimer might crash after second change.
- The new Easter Egg might cause some endless brain loop, should you encounter two 4s, the first one is a 5 (can't tell more obviously :-D ).
- Buttons on IE plugin dialog do vanish when resizing updater dialog.
- /allhives should inform the user he better should run as admin if he does not, since loading remote hives needs admin rights.
- SDHelper page display problems when starting up with multiple tabs on IE7
- SpybotSD.exe /autoupdate should pass parameters to SDUpdate.exe and wait for its return.
- Automatically close SDUpdate.exe after messagebox that no updates are available.
- IE Plugin menu item might not appear on Vista+IE7 (workaround: type about:sdhelper; fix: installer updated)
- Installer didn't show all buttons in some of the new (46) languages (now defaults to english).
- Usage tracks didn't show up.
- Added "Back to mirror list" to updater (was only in context menu).
- Installer will no longer overwrite old Ignore lists.
- Changes to settings tree saved immediately now.
- TeaTimer did not see all 64 bit applications.
- Process list did not show paths for all 64 bit applications.
- Scanner did not find both instances if a file was in both 32 and 64 bit Program Files folder.
- Opera immunization was only for plugins (now cookies and content as well).
- Firefox immunization was missing.
