Silent SDHelper in Internet Exp. not available

[PauleyHoyt]

How can I disable the notifications popping up when a download was blocked (e.g. Avenue A, Inc., DoubleClick)? FAQ #044 . I followed help instructions to Go to Internet Explorer , Tools , Spybot OK BUT nothing appears to set the silent blocking.

Help :sad:

Spybot 1.3 or 1.4:

Go into Spybot-S&D > Immunize. Look in the last section labeled "Permanently running bad download blocker for Internet Explorer". There are three modes of operation (options) which are in the pull-down below "Enable permanent blocking of bad addresses in Internet Explorer". They are:
Block all pages silently
Display dialog when blocking
Ask for blocking confirmation
Select "Block all pages silently".

Spybot 1.5:

Go into Internet Explorer > Tools > select "Spybot – Search Destroy Configuration". Then in the "Spybot-S&D - Configuration" window in the "Settings" tab under "When encountering bad things" you can select among:
Block all pages silently
Display dialog when blocking
Ask for blocking confirmation
Select "Block all pages silently".

Thanks for responding. per your instruction below in your post, when I highlight or click "select Spybot Search Destropy Configuration" ... nothing happens. I do not get the Configuration window. I am using Internet Explorer
7.1 and spybot 1.5.15 . So.. I started Spybot and went to Settings tab BUT I do not see "when encountering bad things"...

Any suggestions?

I don't know why the "Spybot – Search Destroy Configuration" facility would not be working. Please check the version of the SDHelper.dll that you are running. Using Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy. Right click on SDHelper.dll and select "Properties". In the "SDHelper.dll Properties" window, click on the Version tab and tell us what version of the SDHelper.dll you are running.
