    Default Immunization not needed for uninstalled Firefox

    Catagory: Bug


    Hello,
    Eventhough I have uninstalled firefox I still see the immunization feature for firefox in Spybot. It should be fixed.

    I don't have firefox anymore either, but it's showing in the immunize area.

    Firefox must leave traces of itself behind after uninstall, because I've noticed CCleaner still shows it as installed as well, under applications.

    Well, if the data folder ('profile') is still there, Spybot-S&D sees that. Better to immunize some unused profiles than to overlook an installation because the application (Firefox) itself was not seen for some reason

    If you want to manually delete your Firefox folder, it's usually in C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\ on NT based Windows versions.

    Thanks PepiMk, I deleted the Mozilla folder and that's sorted it
