Firefox 2 immunization.

You wouldn't happen to have Zone Alarm firewall,would you?And if you do,is it the pro version?
Someone elsewhere was having a problem with cookies,and I think I remember it being something to do with Zone Alarm,or another firewall,I think.

Nope, just Windows' own firewall. I have Avast AV and SS&D. I've disabled Teatimer (the resident program) but it's still installed.

Ok,I will have a look around and see if I can find anything similar.
Do you have Spybot's browser helper to block bad downloads enabled?

[Zenobia]

Actually,the sdhelper only works with Internet Explorer,come to think of it,so it shouldn't be that.(doh!)
I'm not finding much at the moment.I'll post back if I think of anything.

I now find that my iTunes software won't recognize the updated Quicktime and even when I update it manually, it still tells me that I don't have the latest version of Quicktime installed when I know I do.

I at least managed to get IE6 to go to hotmail.com but I still can't get FF 2.0 to do so. I have enabled cookies to be set but it hasn't fixed the problem.

I've disabled TT from running mem res and have restored AGAIN to another date when I KNOW everything was working fine and still no luck.

I've mostly decided I may have to uninstall Spybot S&D. I don't know what else I can do at this point. If there's anyone out there who can help me some more, I'd really appreciate it.

The site Zenobia sent me to ... what I quoted above, wasn't much help since I'd already tried that and I'm NOT running Zone Alarm firewall, only the one included w/ Windows.

[Zenobia]

I do not think not being able to log into hotmail with Firefox would be caused by Spybot or teatimer.

"sdhelper only works with Internet Explorer"

Ouch! So immunizations AND SD-Helper don't work with other browsers (I use ff)?? Plus I can't use hosts because I have a DSL router, so that leaves me only with teatimer for prevention.

I REALLY hope 1.5 is Firefox compatible!

[PepiMK]

Why can't you use hosts because of the router?
Using the hosts file will only protect your machine, not others using the same router, but that's not a problem I think

Immunization works with Opera as well, but it's not the same as Firefox, agreed.

Spybot-S&D itself is working on Firefox and Seamonkey in terms of scanning and cleaning cookies, cache & history... but not the same way as SDHelper, that's right. Lets see what 1.5 brings
