Good  Morning ;

Can anyone give me some help with this...
I downloaded a  free version (although i probably will donate to the
cause...looks like an  awsome program) of Spybot. I installed it on 1 of my desktop
machines running  windows xp pro, and ran it....it worked great.....
I want to put it onto a  CD and utilize it to check my laptop, and other
machines.....
When  I  ran it from the CD on one of my other Desktop machines also running
Windows XP  Pro it did the scan fine, and appeared to work but gave me some
unable to find  file messages when I was running the Fix Problems portion....I
was not sure if  this is related to the fact that I installed spybot on one
machine and just  copied the installed directory to the CD....Do you actually
have to run the  installation on each machine you want to use it on?

Also please let me  know what you think of this application, and if you use
other programs for  cleaning up your pc's.

Thanks for all your  help
Rich


Hi,
  There are very few windows programs where you can simply  copy the
installed files from one system to another and have it work. Most  install programs
also install files in the various windows directories,  as well as making
registry entries. Both of these things will not be  done with a simple 'copying' of
program files between computers. Bottom line is  that it needs to be installed
on each computer it is run on.

HTH,
