Checking For Updates

Automatic Update Checking

• Upon running, the program will automatically check for program and spam list updates, and will notify you (in the Scanning Mode Menu / Main Menu) if there is a new version
• Automatic update checking can be disabled via the config file setting: auto_check_update
• You can also manually check for updates (such as when automatic checking is disabled) by selecting that option in the Main Menu

Automatic Update Downloading

• You can have the program download the latest .exe version for you
• This option will be presented after you use the 'Check For Updates' option in the Main Menu
  • The program will also verify the downloaded file's hash to verify it was downloaded correctly

Spam List Updating

• The program also uses crowd-sourced spam lists in addition to the built in filters
  • You can see the GitHub page for these lists here: https://github.com/ThioJoe/YT-Spam-Lists
• The program will automatically fetch any new spam lists if yours is out of date. It is set to only check once a day, to limit API queries

Config File Updating

• The program will automatically detect if your config file is not the latest version, and will automatically upgrade yours for you
• It should copy all your previous settings to the new config, but just in case, it will also store a backup of your old config in the SpamPurge_Resources/User_Config_Backups folder
