Easy Transfer migration blocked by Spybot Search & Destroy

After 4 attempts to do an "Easy Transfer" migration from old XP system to new
Vista system using the Belkin Easy Transfer cable, I noticed the migration
always failed when Spybot Search & Destroy was named below the progress bar
on the Vista system. So I uninstalled the Spybot program and the migration
went flawlessly! Note: I had already done the 'prescreen' get-ready for
migration process online through Microsoft, but the Spybot Search & Destroy
program had not shown up as an issue. UNINSTALL SPYBOT SEARCH & DESTROY
before trying to do an Easy Transfer migration of files using a Belkin cable.

I might offer that such crap should never be installed to begin with.

You obviously don't know the program; nor much about anything.

I don't know your age, or expertise (of which you have a very high opinion),
however, you misjudge Spybot Search and Destroy. Check it at CENet or PCMag.
It was out there clearing spyware before Norton and McAfee. Now, of course,
the giants in virus protection have the same offerings as part of their
products, still Spybot Search & Destroy often picks up what they miss. It
surely did block migration from XP to Vista until I realized what the problem
was! Considering the number of downloads of Spybot Search & Destroy that
have been made, it is a significant problem for Easy Transfer migrations and
an alert needs to be added to the pre-scan program to identify it before the
migration begins so that people are stuck for 4 or 5 hours like I was trying
to get the operation to work.

In other words, you have no clue.

Well, I do have a clue clown.
People like you should be barred from here.

You have such a small clue, you don't even know when you're being spoken to.

The people who should be barred are those that believe software can do
everything for them, and thus they never bother to learn how to maintain
their own PCs.

"Easy Transfer" is as much a waste of money as is "Spybot".
(Just my humble opinion.... while yours seems to be off topic
hostility).

By the way... have *you* ever removed Spybot from the registry?

Nevermind.... I'll bet you think your PC gets a registry cleaning on boot up, too.


Cheers,

Hey cockhead, I build and repair computers, data recovery(high-tech),
servers, etc

I think I know a bit more than you! I am 59yo.
You are just a Johnny-come-lately to comps

Whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhoooooooooooooo.... I'M IMPRESSED !!!!!!

Now go kiss some more ass and maybe you'll get your MSMVP.

Think all you like... it hasn't done you any good here yet.

> I am 59yo.

Mmmmmmmm.... I AM SOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo IMPRESSED !!!!!!

Not that it makes a damned bit of difference to a wise ass that
can't even tell when he is being addressed, but I am 4 years
younger that you and do the same work, but I don't do recovery.

If you would use software either piece of the aforementioned
software, I would be certain NOT to hire you.


> You are just a Johnny-come-lately to comps

You're an unknowing ass that should mind his own, overblown ego, business...


You entered this thread trying to kick my ass for some reason... but all
you have done is whimper that I have an opinion that is based on fact
and experience, and feed your ego in the process of doing so.

Please... either go help someone who is completely clueless or go
play in the street... preferably the latter.

Why don't you two children take it offline? exchange im's and continue this
outside of the forum. i don't care to read this stuff; I just want
eztransfer to stop hanging on my XP box. can either of you pause your
mudslinging for a moment and assist?

BTW, I have strong opinions about Spybot S&D, but I'm not going to state
them for fear of getting hit by a mudball.
