DLF Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 Are you referring to Webroot Spy sweeper V4.0.1.323? Its still beta. So maybe "Final" will install OK as before. Webroot Spy Sweeper v3.5.0 Build 199 is still the official LATEST final version.Webroot Spy sweeperN.B. Some people also reporting virus warnings when installing V4.0.1.323 and also some people can only install it in Safe Mode. Not beta?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diesel_98a Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 last i've seen is the beta version, i tried running switches w/ it but just might have to wait on the final for that.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muiz Posted May 17, 2005 Author Share Posted May 17, 2005 I bought Spy Sweeper, and i receive emails about them including updatesSo nice site you gave us , but i have to dissapoint you.Its no BETAread again m8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLF Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Why is the site called BETAnews? P.S. There's a clue in the name. And they continue to update releases until it goes final and then it will say so. The software manufacturers USE BETAnews as a platform for their products and to get info to the marketplace. When it goes final they'll report it and issue the version number.

muiz Posted May 18, 2005 Author Share Posted May 18, 2005 whatever........i believe webroot, and not a geek beta site...but since you dont have a clue what you talking about, maybe someone else knows how to solve this problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrf2027 Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Before this breaks out into an all-out flame war, here's what I noticed: If you already have Spy Sweeper 3.5 installed, and click the "Update Program" button under Options, the Web site tells you that you have the most current version installed.BUT...If you go to Webroot's web site, click on "Re-Download Purchased Software", and enter your information, it sends you a link for 4.0. The installation is for 4.0.1 Build 331. The new download is about 6 MB, twice as large as the size of 3.5.If you right-click the executable, under Properties -> Version -> Comments it says the executable's built using Inno Setup, but I also couldn't get any of the usual Inno Setup switches to work. Also, based on the way the program looks and feels, I'd say it's still a beta. Graphics are not as advanced as in 3.5. Memory scan takes a long time, but scans of the hard drive hardly take any time at all, so overall scan time is down. If you're concerned about being exposed to spyware, you may want to continue to run 3.5, since it's the tried and true. If your system is somewhat safe, and behind a firewall, and you don't participate in the "click the monkey and you win a prize!" crap, go ahead and give 4.0 a try.

coucou Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 HI,Here my contribution.1) I build a AutoIt installer here enclosed. Tested Working. Before running it, please enter yr registration code in line 5Send("XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX")Moreover, I added a Send("{SPACE}") command this will uncheck the "Run Spy Sweeper Now". Therefore, "taskkill /F /IM SpySweeper.exeEnjoycoucou" is not more needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muiz Posted May 18, 2005 Author Share Posted May 18, 2005 Cool...But 1 thing, it stops at : register spy sweeper now?I changed that, now it works.THX for your help coucou (enclosed the right file)SpySweeper_4_installer.au3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coucou Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Yeah!!!I had "register spy sweeper now" too and i deleted it because it doesn't detected.I think it detected in the first install. As I had to install many times for testing and building the AutoIt installer, the "register spy sweeper now" wasn't anymore dectected and the install stoped.Anyway... Good Jobcoucou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
