Here's a nice bug ;) I somehow doubt Adaware is installed in ECE *reboots computer and lets deepfreeze have at it*

[dparm]

That warning was in version 1.3. IIRC Ad-Aware has a similar warning in the Read Me.

So I took a study break and branded Spybot with an OSCR skin ;) Toss it in the skins folder

In recent news...

Spybot 1.4 has gone final! *cheers*

Noticed that the other day. Interface certainly looks a bit nicer now. I don't know if it is any more effective at cleaning out malware, but 1.3 was pretty good so even if nothing in the scanning engine changed I'll still be happy.

I noticed a small bug....

When a window pops up asking to allow/disallow a registry change, the buttons are all messed up. I have seen this on all five of my computers so far. Anyone else see this?

LA.

You can use your keyboard and press 'A' to Accept or 'D' to Deny the changes in the Tea Timer window.

On Spybot's forums, there has been a thread of people having the same issue. I will link it below for you to read:

Nope. Spybot is one of the most well-known malware scanners.
