    Default How to enable jump to location details.

    If anyone could help me enable this setting I'd appreciate it.

    After running in firefox when surfing, and then running spybot, after it detects usual tracking cookies I get this kind of description (e.g.):

    Tracking cookie [firefox default]
    Firefox default: .Advertising.com [BASE]

    I cannot find such cookies in the firefox applications cache nor in the IE cookies or cache.

    When I highlight the detected malware, and right click, one que that pops up is: “more details”. When activated it shows “jump to location". But nothing happens when “jump to location" is clicked, so I assume I have not enabled that function in Spybot to be able to see each cookie's exact location.

    Obviously, it has to do with "firefox default". But the "jump to location" does not operate so I do not know what its actual location is.

    All help is appreciated in advance, Diligent

    I think you have to click the plus sign,then highlight what is selected below,then select jump to location.,But,when I looked on mine,the jump to location on a cookie didn't work either,but it did jump for something besides cookies.(I used to find I had to sometimes click jump to location twice,first time opens regedit,second time takes you to the location.)So,I'd guess Jump to location just takes you to the location on some things.

    Those are some possible explanations. I'll try them out. Can't remember if I highlighted the general cookie entry of the specific one.

    Thanks for that input. Diligent.

    You're welcome. Btw,this shows how to block third-party cookies,if you would like to have a look:

    You might already have that set in firefox,but I thought I'd throw the link on here,just in case.

    changed the FF settings. Thx. Today I got a new (latest download) spybot "adware" show up. It is 3B Software Registry Repair. How do I find out why it is "adware" and what it does?

    Thanks, Diligent

    You're welcome.
    If you haven't fixed 3B Software Registry Repair yet,if you highlight it with your mouse after a scan,then over to the right,click the section with the two arrows,Spybot may have a description of it.
