I am using Spybot version 1.5. After scanning I get a result that there are no threats but if I immunize it
says that some are unprotected. Why does that
happen?

Hello,

If you are not immunizing with full administrator rights, Spybot-S&D might not have enough permissions to fully immunize all user accounts.

If you are using Windows Vista, you should also read this FAQ entry about getting Administrator rights under Vista.

As a current solution you can try to "Undo" the Immunisation. Now the bad products are allowed.
Then "Immunize" again. This should solve the problem for now.

Some more information is availible in our forum:

Another thing though is that immunization only works properly while your browser is closed, since otherwise your browser will overwrite immunization from time to time from the settings it loaded when it was started.

If you are still unable to get everything immunized, it would be helpful if you provided some specific information such as the Windows operating system you are running as well as the category (Profile) and the quantities of the items not being immunized.
