I am running Windows ME. I have all the latest updates for Spybot (thank you). I use AVG Free Anti-Virus, ZoneAlarm (free version again) firewall, and I use Ad-aware SE Personal.

When I try to immunize against bad products it tells me that 4018 bad products have been immunized. When I click "Check Again" it tells me that "4012 bad products already blocked, 6 additional protections possible. Please immunize."

At the moment, I seem to be clear of spyware according to Ad-aware and Spybot. I would like to know whether I should worry about these "6 additional bad products" or not, and how I can fix the problem if there is any.

Thanks.

There is a bug in the way Spybot 1.4 is counting immunization. On Windows 98, 98SE and ME systems you get six (6) items that show as un-immunized. If you get the following message on a Windows ME system when using Spybot's immunization facility, it is normal although not correct:
Warning
nnnn bad products already blocked, 6 additional protections possible. Please immunize.
OK
