I have been a long-time user of (and donated to) SB S&D 1.6.2 (Free). After visiting the website today, I understand now there are four versions available: 1) SB S&D 1.6.2 (Free); 2) SB 2.1 (Free);...

First Immunization. (I am running V1.6.2 in "Advanced Mode" under Windows XP 32bit.) When I select the "Immunize" button in the left-side menu, a screen appears with a green "progress bar"...

After selecting "Immunize" in the left menu panel, a green "progress bar" proceeds across the top of the page. Meanwhile, "counters" are incrementing in the upper-right corner of the page...

Hi Zenobia!!

Good news! I discovered why my "getting updates" had changed and I no longer got the opportunity to choose a mirror site for the download -- and everything seemed to happen "too...

No, the "boot up - halt" doesn't occur just with uninstalls. I've had it happen when returning to normal boot after using Safe Mode, and another time, some months ago, in doing a system re-start...

No, the bootup halt has occurred several times before the Ad-Aware experience.

But, thanks for your suggestion Re Explorer.exe. That was suggested on another forum also. I'll try it next time...

Thanks for the info and ideas on what to try.

I think I will go for the "uninstall - reinstall" approach. But, first I need to solve another problem that has cropped up in doing uninstalls.

Hi Zenobia -- Yes, there has been a long gap in my postings!! The summer has been busy for me and, SB S&D [B][I]seems[I][B] to be working. But, I still have that nagging suspicion the "Integrated...

I should have checked the forum before I sent you the last post.

Your "Updater" window looks slightly different than mine -- are we running different versions (mine is v 1.6.2)??



I took the...

Hi (Again) Zenobia,

I just remembered there is a way to attach a file to these posts -- and my "screen grab" is saved as a file. I followed the "Attach Files" instructions under "Additional...

Hi Zenobia,

Yes, I believe I did re-try for updates later in the day yesterday (1:39 - 1:41 PM) just to see if the "strange behavior" was still there -- and it was! No, there was no notification...

Hello Again Zenobia! :)

I followed your instructions for getting the "Copy & Paste" of the Update Log File. This last part I'm not too sure of. I simply "paste" (CTL V) into this response...

I'm running SB S&D v 1.6.2. Each time I start the program to do a scan, I have been checking for "updates". Usually, I get a window that tells me updates (Detection Rules at least) are available,...

lewisje --

Thank you for the clarification! It all makes sense now!! :beerbeerb:

Wakefield --

Just to "share" something this forum awakened me to about "running the Immunize Function": You should be clicking the[COLOR="lime"]GREEN CROSS[COLOR="lime"]in the horizontal tool bar...

Zenobia & Gopher John :greeting:

Gopher John -- Thanks for catching my misunderstanding! A "little voice" did have me a bit concerned about getting "User Adds" mixed up with the SB list. But, I...

Zenobia -:greeting:

OK, I think I got it!! :clap: I used "RUN" first, and it took me directly to "ClipBook Viewer" (apparently that's what Windows XP calls Clipboard Viewer) instead of the "My...

Zenobia -- Thanks for clarifying this. I went to the Immunize Page, and down to Windows/Global (hosts). Yes, the "Protected" entry there is exactly 14,825. So, I we're "good to go" with the SB S&D...

This is the "fourth level of protection" provided by SB S&D. The associated description of this function in "Tools" has a sentence that begins "If you decide to use that [this] function, . . ."...

Zenobia :greeting:

OK on the description of the Windows Clipboard -- now I know where all that "Copy Stuff" goes!! (I didn't know that place had a name!) :thanks:

Now for the Clipboard...

Hi Zenobia! :greeting:

I followed your instructions regarding the Chrome "browser tool" and successfully deleted the DoubleClick.Net (RED) cookie. So, I think we can "color" this case closed!
...

I'm back (with a RED face)!! :oops:

When I got back to closing up SB I noticed the one RED finding was only checked with a SMALL green check mark -- ALL the other findings were checked with a...

Zenobia -- I guess the "Gremlins" are out tonight! I re-ran the SB scan and got 24 "findings", only one of which was RED. I wasn't able to capture those results using the right-click procedure you...

Will do. A Spydot scan usually runs close to two hours for my system. So, I probably won't get results to you until tomorrow.

Zenobia -- My "thanks" once again!! I would never have found (or thought of) those two approaches. I'm using Chrome today, so I went with your second method of right-clicking on the TeaTimer Icon...

Zenobia -- OK, I get it now!! :2thumb: (I mistakenly thought I was supposed to do the editing in the Spybot window!)

Thanks for the rapid "turn-around" on getting me straightened out. I'm very...

I just read a 2005 post by md-usa-spybot-fan titled: [U]How SD S&R Protects Against The Installation of Spyware/Mallware[U]. Very informative and well written. It mentions three selectable modes...

On a recent scan Spybot returned 142 results, 39 of which were shown in RED (mostly all Cookies). I "checked" all of them to be fixed but, even after several attempts of clicking "fix selected...

Zenobia -- Thank you for your reply!! I followed your instructions and found the data I had (accidentally) archived! However, it is not in the format you described (e.g., "Resident.yyMM.hhmm.txt")....

I opened the "Resident" option in "Tools" recently for the first time. It was a pretty lengthy list/log. Being curious, I clicked on "Archive Log" in the top Tool Bar, and the whole list...
