• Welcome Guest, to the Spybot Forums! It's 2025, and we just upgraded our forum software.

    Today is Safer Internet Day, and with our new forum, you can finally use passkeys to login. That was about time!

    Of course, you could ask if a forum is still useful, with so many social media networks out there where you might already have an account, and met a lot of users. You can now use your login from some of those networks to log in here. And by posting here, your question and data is stored on our servers and not automatically shared with a whole social media network.

    We'll also start using the forum for small bits of information, announcements and more again.

Immunize Question

There is no facility within Spybot-S&D to selectively exclude individual items from the immunization process such as restricted zone entries and ActiveX blocking.

What are you trying to exclude?

I too would like to be able to unblock Commission Junction. I am working with an affiliate that uses them and the only way I can work with them is to use CJ. Is it possible to manually remove the Registry entry?

Thank You

Try the following:
  • Go into Internet Explorer > Tools > Internet options > Privacy tab > in the "Settings" section click "Sites" (see Note #1 below) > on the "Per Site Privacy Actions" screen under "Managed websites" scroll down until you find "commission-junction.com" (without the quotes) > highlight the entry and click the "Remove" button. Back out by doing OK > OK.
  • Note #1: If I remember correctly, on older versions of Internet Explorer 6 (pre XP SP2) to get to the "Per Site Privacy Actions" screen from the Privacy tab you have to click on the "Edit" button in the "Web Sites" section near the bottom.
Let me know if the above works or not. Spybot places multiple entries in the registry to block the "commission-junction.com" cookie and the above may not work to overcome those multiple entries. If it does not work we can try a different approach.
 
That worked - I can now access the page I need. There were three different listings that I had to remove to get it to work.

I assume that I will have to remove them again whenever I do an update. Is that correct?

Thank You

The entries will have to be removed after each time you immunize. Since this is apparently is going to be ongoing process it may be easier to make up a .reg (Registry Editor) file that can be executed after you immunize to eliminate the entries.

What Windows OS are you running and what were the three entries?
 
I am using Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2.

The three listings were commissionjunction.com, commissionjunction.net and cj.com. I have since determined that the only one that needed to be removed is cj.com. I re-blocked the other two and the page I need still works.

Rodney:

The entries blocking cookies for commissionjunction.net and cj.com don't come from Spybot's immunization. Are you using SpywareBlaster or some other product in addition to Spybot's immunization?
 
I am using SpywareBlaster but I had turned the protection off. Obviously that does not remove all entries. A lesson well learned. Thanks for all of your help.

Rodney:

After "Disabling protection" in SpywareBlaster, you may have to restart your Internet Explorer sessions to get the "Disabling protection" to work.

I have attached a Rodneyblmachine.zip file that contains a Rodneyblmachine.reg file to delete the entries that SpywareBlaster adds to the registry to block cookies from cj.com. The content of the Rodneyblmachine.reg file is as follows:

Code: 
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\P3P\History\cj.com]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\P3P\History\cj.com]
You can try to use this file as follows:
  • Download the Rodneyblmachine.zip file.
  • Unzip (extract) the Rodneyblmachine.reg to a convenient location.
After each time you "Enable protection" with SpywareBlaster:
  • Double click on Rodneyblmachine.reg file.
  • Answer "Yes" then "OK" to the messages received.
 
With Spyware Blaster you can selectivly choose which cookies to block.

When you open the program click on "0 items have protection diabled" in the right colum beside IE settings and remove any check marks you want to.
