sorry but didn't know where to write this
for two weeks my Firefox doesn't download from some pages i used to download from
and sometimes it occers this messege: Error : Timeout
so i was googling and read that it might be a trojan or something like that
but my antivirus didn't find anything
then i used Spybot - Search & Destroy
that found some problems in firefox but everytime i fix it, it returns

imo chan,
And your question is ?
How about some details - what operating system are you using, and how up to date is it. What version of Spybot have you installed and what date are the detection updates. Do you have Teatimer active. What version of Firefox are you using.
Exactly what problems did Spybot find and specifically what did you do to fix or try to fix them. What problems have you fixed in Firefox. What pages/sites are you now not able to access that you could before.
Finally what antivirus system are you using, and what do you have in the way of a firewall.
The more information you can provide, the more likely it is that someone may be able to help you.
i use windows xp SP2
and the latest version of firefox and Spybot - Search & Destroy ( i don't know exactly but i keep everything up to date)
i just wanna know y can't i download using flashgot add-ons in firefox
as i said it keeps telling me that timeout error
and Spybot - Search & Destroy tells me that it fix the problems but when i scan again the problems in firefox still there
its cookies problems i think
its like everytime i open firefox these problem returns
The Latest version is 1.5.2.20 (Help=>About) the latest detections are dated 18/06/2008.
Spybot 1.5.2.20 isn't fully Firefox compatible so I would consider trying the Spybot 1.6 Beta 2 or wait until July when the 1.6 Final is released
The Latest version of Firefox is 3.0
Windows XP Service Pack 3 is avaliable now and I would highly recommend installing it.
What are you trying to download with FlashGot and what is "FlashGot"? as I've never heard of it.
You haven't said what Firewall and Anti-virus software your using and whether your copy of Windows is fully patched (updated).
Dou you have the SD Helper (Bad downloads blocker) and Tea Timer running and are you Immunizing after every Spybot Definitions update?
If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
FYI, Spybot-SD 1.5.2.20 is compatible with Firefox 3. It recognizes it in the Immunize feature. There has been no conflicts, yet.Originally Posted by Terminator
Thing is that Spybot takes some time to Immunize.
Windows SP3 would be optional.

Sometimes a Firefox browser overwhelmed with various themes and add-ons can really slow down the browsing speed.
imo chan, are you using a dial-up connection or DSL?
Usually, a time out session would be when the page takes too long to load. Hvae you attempted to load that "add-on" page with IE?
i use kaspersky antivirus 8
and i have adsl but with speed 128k/s -_-
can i use the add-on on IE? How?
its not like i download from bad sites
but i used to download from sites like Filesend for example
thats y i use the flashgot option
but i can't download now and it apears on the internet doanload manager that error ( timeout )
Looks like Flashgot is associate with a download manager FlashGot.
imo chan, you said the page would not load? Have you attempted to load the page with Firefox SAFE MODE? Safe mode disables all add-ons.
FlashGot does not work with IE. What I'm asking was that if the page loads in IE.
Can you access any other sites, such as Yahoo!?
ADSL connection should be the average DSL, much faster than dial-up.

No one said you were downloading from bad sites. It doesn't look like Flashgot is a torrent (P2P).

Looks like FileSend is:
.FileSend is a free file hosting and delivery service generally used to send files that are too large for email.
Try to disable FlashGot.
When I said Spybot didn't fully work wih Firefox I was reffering to the older versions e.g. 2.0.0.14.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
Ah. I see.When I said Spybot didn't fully work wih Firefox I was reffering to the older versions e.g. 2.0.0.14
But still Spybot is fully compatible with 2.0.0.14. I'm not sure about v.1.x though.
imo chan,
To get back to your original problem. As you are using Firefox, Spybots resident browser helper is not an issue because it only works with Internet Explorer. If it is Spybot that is preventing your download then it may relate to its immunisations.
1. You didn't answer my question as to whether Teatimer is active. Please turn it off. Tools>Resident. Remove Tick from resident teatimer.
2. Un-immunise all items (Immunise>Undo), then try your download. If it still doesn't work for you then I have some doubt it is a Spybot issue, however to prove this, make sure you have unimmunised everything & unticked teatimer, then uninstall Spybot. If it still doesn't work, the problem is then elsewhere.
Hope this helps.
