Help Please, Downloading Spybot
|
David Russell <david.sonofhashem@...>
Hello Group,
I have a Windows 7 computer, NVDA 2017, Firefox 52, and am interested to download and set up SpyBot on my computer, or even if possible, go to their website and do a scan if that exists anymore as an option. If I download something, I press save. Then I press alt-r to run the setup file, but in a lot of cases, I cannot tell that I can proceed to install the program. I can go to downloads and find the wanted file, press enter, but it remains as it was before doing alt-r to run. What step or steps am I missing to advance to installation? This happened with Avast, Malware Bytes and something else a while back. Those previous have been deleted. Thanks for the help in advance. -- David Russell david.sonofhashem@... |

The Spybot Search & Destroy Free download page is: https://www.safer-networking.org/download/
If you download the EXE file it should fire up just like any other EXE file does and do the installation. -- Brian - Windows 10 Home, 64-Bit, Version 1809, Build 17763 The terrible state of public education has paid huge dividends in ignorance. Huge. We now have a country that can be told blatant lies — easily checkable, blatant lies — and I’m not talking about the covert workings of the CIA. When we have a terrorist attack, on September 11, 2001 with 19 men — 15 of them are Saudis — and five minutes later the whole country thinks they’re from Iraq — how can you have faith in the public? This is an easily checkable fact. The whole country is like the O.J. Simpson jurors. ~ Fran Lebowitz in Ruminator Magazine interview with Susannah McNeely (Aug/Sept 2005)

Internet Explorer has a run command so you can run
an installer from a web site. With firefox, save the installer, then go to it
however you go to any file and run it.

Hi David, Personally I would not install Spybot S&D.I have used it in the past and last week decided to install it on my Win 10 Laptop. I have an i5 and 16GB of Ram and during the scan I got a message telling me that I did not have enough memory. All I had running was NVDA, so I did a few checks and found that Spybot was killing my machine. I googled the message and I found that I was not the only one experiencing the same issue. At the end of the day it is up to you if you install it, I just taught that I would share my experience. Regards, Stephen

Are you sure they have been deleted, booth Avast and AVG these days leave systems running unless you use a bespoke removal program. I know the one for avast is avastclear.

The other thing to note is that depending on the browser some only partly download the file as at some point they say, this is a file not normally downloaded and ask you to click ann. often inaccessible button, and I have actually gone into settings and disabled this 'feature' in Firefox etc, as its a pest of the first degree. Incidentally why not use the latest nvda? Brian bglists@... Sent via blueyonder.
