Thanks for your reply! I appreciate it.
Right after my first post, I did run "check for problems" again, and "advertising.com" was found. I selected it, ran "fix selected problems," ran "Immunize," and hoped for the best. But then my latest internet activity report still shows thousands of hits to similar websites. The top six offenders this time are:
1. cyclops.prod.untd.com 1694 ( 23.09% )
2. cyclops.prod.untd.com 528 ( 7.198% )
3. 132.175.109.30 497 ( 6.775% )
4. 199.38.149.1 195 ( 2.658% )
5. sales.liveperson.net 188 ( 2.563% )
6. ads.addynamix.com 176 ( 2.399% )
And the categories (ie, the 2nd and 4th) are concerning:
News
2034 ( 27.73% )
News R-rated
1698 ( 23.14% )
OK
1131 ( 15.41% )
R-rated News
528 ( 7.198%
As you suggested, I ran "check for problems" again just now, and "advertising.com" was found again (two weeks after it was found and fixed)! Shouldn't "Immunize" prevent re-infection? (see all results from the scan pasted below)
Re-immunized as suggested. The warning was: "29983 bad products already blocked, 5460 additional protections possible." (this must be the changes to "Immunize" in the last two weeks)
I appreciate in advance any additional help anyone can give me! This is a head-scratcher; I am positive that for the last two weeks I'd been completely updated on SpyBot, yet I still seem to have problems.
