Vaccination with Mozilla Firefox

Hello,

We are sorry, but the Immunization does not work for Firefox, it is only for the Internet Explorer.
Maybe in one of the coming versions there will be a bad download blocker for Firefox, but not at the moment.

Best regards

• ActiveX processes can only execute under Internet Explorer and therefore are not a concern when using Firefox.
• The restricted zone entries are only applicable to Internet Explorer. Depending on settings within Internet Explorer, placing sites in the restricted zone limits the storing of cookies and the download/execution of ActiveX processes from those sites. Since the storing of third party cookies can limited within the Firefox browser and ActiveX processes are not applicable to Firefox, the restricted zone entries that Spybot's immunization adds are not necessary when using Forefox.
