Hello everyone,
I'm having difficulty getting the immunize function on Spybot 1.6.0 to work on my computer. I'm running Windows XP SP2. I run Firefox 3.0.1, Microsoft's firewall, and AVG. I've searched around for similar posts and could not find any way to fix the problems that I'm having. Here are some details.
I selected "immunize", and it completed with the following results:
Overall, Spybot's immunize function reports 299199 total items, 245129 protected, and 54070 unprotected.
Under Firefox (16 rows of entries)
Row 4, default (Cookies), 191 unprotected, 0 protected
Row 5, default (Images), 8948 unprotected, 0 protected
Row 12, default (Installations), 8948 unprotected, 0 protected
Row 14, default (Popups), 8948 unprotected, 0 protected
Row 16, default (Popups), 8948 unprotected, 0 protected
All other entries report 0 unprotected
Under Internet Explorer (32 bit) (5 rows of entries)
All entries report 0 unprotected
Under Internet Explorer (32/64 bit) (24 rows of entries)
All entries report 0 unprotected
Under Mozilla (8 rows of entries)
Row 1, default (Cookies), 191 unprotected
Row 4, default (Images), 8948 unprotected
Row 5, default (Installations), 8948 unprotected
Row 7, default (Popups), 8948 unprotected
Under Windows (1 row)
Global (Hosts), 0 unprotected
In the immunization screen, I clicked "undo". The result was 1033 Global (Hosts) objects that coud not be "undone"; i.e., they were left protected after the undo. Everything else was "unprotected".
I re-ran immunize again, and had exactly the same results as I had obtained initially.
I have repeated this process several times, uninstalling (including running the small .reg program) and reinstalling Spybot and obtaining the same results each time.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Ed
