Tools button on Spyware Doctor

jerome · #1 08-13-2007, 10:33 AM

Hello, and sorry for my poor english but I am french. I use SD for a long time, my version is 5.0.1.205 Database 5.07920 with 646.747 intelli signatures.
I observe today (but I cannot say for how long it is so!) that I have not the "tools button" which goes to "malware detective" as shown on this picture of PC Tools:

Is this normal?
I have only 4 buttons: status, start scan, onguard, settings!
I have completely uninstalled SD then re-downloaded it and it's the same.
In Program Files\Spyware Doctor there is a folder called "tools" which is empty.
However all works perfectly..
Regards,
Jérôme from Paris...

Yes, I'm missing the Tools button, too, so when you find out where it is could you let us know. Thanks

It works and my tool button is back!

I did what was indicated but my tools button is not back. The unzipped file's in a folder called Tools in the SD Folder. What did I do wrong? and How can I fix it?

Hello,
don't extract it in the folder "tools" of SD but directly in program files\Spyware Doctor and you'll find your "tools" button back! with "malware detective"!

Thanks a lot jerome. Sometimes my mind just stops working when it comes to simple things. Everything is now perfect.
