Do a CTRL-ALT-DEL and bring up the task manager. Double check that Firefox is not running in the background. Something in your startup may have called it, and it didn't close.

If you no longer have Firefox installed and don't plan on reinstalling it, you can safely delete the entire Firefox profile folder. When SpyBot Search & Destroy is run next, there will be no Firefox...
SpyBot Search & Destroy is likely finding Firefox profile folders that weren't removed when Firefox was uninstalled. Users are given the option when uninstalling Firefox to delete the profiles.

There were no new immunizations on my WinXP Pro SP3 with the September 5th update, either. Perhaps you WinXP machine wasn't fully immunized before, or some other program is removing some of the...
Thank you, this is much appreciated. The new Updates tab will be a great resource.
Hoping sooner than later. I used the information in a small email list that I send to a few friends/family when the update is released. For now, I'm simply give the date along with the fact that...
Yes, it does during the immunization. Currently, it adds 15,273 entries.

Firefox 13.0.2 is in pre-release testing. Evidently, several third party sites have jumped the gun again and posted it. Some even labeled it "Mozilla Firefox 13.0.2 Final". I wouldn't trust a...
Where did you download Firefox 13.0.2? I don't see it on any of the official Mozilla sites.
@Zenobia,
I agree. It's always third party software that adds to the hosts file, or the individual user.

If your XP is fully updated, it should already have this update, but make sure.
For the past few updates, there have been no new immunizations included, so immunize has no work to do. That is likely what you are seeing. I always make sure that Firefox closes completely (never...
On SpyBot Search & Destroy startup, it warns the user if a browser is open. It makes the assumption that the user will heed the warning and close all the browsers.

I've been using Malware Domains subscriptions along with the EasyList and EasyPrivacy for quite some time in Firefox with AdBlock Plus. However, that doesn't negate the need for the hosts...
The entries in hosts file protect Firefox, Opera and other browsers, so the loss of immunizations there leaves those browsers unprotected from such sites.
I wonder if immunizations are going to be dropped completely. There used to be updates, including deletions and additions to the hosts file. The immunizations are probably the most valuable part of...

SpyBot Search & Destroy 1.62 does (or did) work fine on Windows 95a. I bought a Micron Pentium 166Mhz with 96MB of memory back in 1995 or 1996. That thing must have been built like a tank. It...

You should be able to get that information from the publishers of the other programs.
There was a spam post in this thread this morning which I reported. It has since been removed. That is probably the reason for the thread bump-up.
The process isn't that difficult, I agree. However, the ability to disable it's services permanently should be in the SpyBot S&D interface.

I did a search for BankofAmerica in the hosts file using EditPad Lite, and it was not found. I have 2011-09-21 definitions and am fully immunized.

There could be a Firefox profile that you aren't using that contains those bookmarks.

I've had no problems with Avast 6.0.1203 and SpyBot Search & Destroy 1.6.2.46. This is an old thread which you've resurrected.

Does this new Beta 2 correct the problem of not being able to permanently disable SpyBot S&D Services via it's user interface? See http://forums.spybot.info/showpost.php?p=404574&postcount=16
If you strip those lines, then that is the problem. SpyBot Search & Destroy uses those lines to determine the entries that it owns. If they aren't there then it may consider all entries fair game.
Anything that the user adds between the lines below is subject to change by an update of SpyBot Search & Destroy. I have entries above the first line, but after the localhost line and they've never...
There are weekly updates, normally on Wednesday. The last was on 05/25/2011.
SpyBot Search & Destroy usually finds no problems on my machine. That's quite normal for many users, I'd guess.

That would likely work. However, it should work from within SpyBot S&D. This seems flawed.
