Fixed Problems Not Fixed

[Blooski]

I run Spybot, it says there are 51 problems, they are all checked, I click the Fix Problems button. and it says it has removed the problems. I get out of Spybot, and start it up freshly. I immediately run again, with out any other web activity and it finds the same 51 problems again, as if nothing was removed.

You are running an old version of Spybot. Spybot 1.5 was released September 2007.

Spybot 1.5 immunizes to pervent the storing of Firefox Tracking cookies.

In regard to the detections identified as Firefox tracking cookies in Spybot 1.4. Sometimes Spybot has trouble removing Firefox tracking cookies. There are suggestions in the following post on how to remove them as well as block them from being stored in the future:

After some trouble (I had to install it twice) I installed Version 1.5.1. It does exactly the same thing. It doesn't delete the 'problem' tracking cookies that it identifies and says 'problem fixed' on. Also, now, with the newer version, upon startup it maxes out my CPU for about a minute before it even pops up a window for interface. It takes 20-30 minutes to scan my machine (WIN XP) where originally it only took 4-5 mins. I really liked this product when it first came out, but I find it unworkable at this point.

Hello,

Doubleclick (and others like Advertising.com, Avenue A, Inc, CasaleMedia, Fastclick, Hitbox, Mediaplex etc.) are so-called tracking cookies. It is quite common for popular websites to employ such tracking cookies from third parties. They use them in order to track the users' surfing habits on their websites. As I said, these cookies are from third parties but they are employed by the site. There is a tool in Spybot-S&D: BrowserHelper, i.e. a bad download blocker for Internet Explorer. With this tool enabled such tracking cookies will be blocked. In order to activate this tool, please run Spybot-S&D and go to the "Tools"->"Resident" page. Checking the checkbox in front of SDHelper will enable the BrowserHelper.

Now open the Tools menu in your Internet Explorer and choose 'Spybot - Search Destroy Configuration'.
There you will find a drop down menu which will appear giving you some options.
(3rd picture) (http://www.safer-networking.org/en/spybotsd15/index.html)
You should select "Block all bad pages silently".
With that option set the notifications will no longer come up, but you will still have the protection.
Further choose "Spybot-S&D->Immunize" from the navigation bar on the left.
Now the baddies are blocked.

Hi, After reading this thread (and the others regarding the start up time) I thought I’d add this to this thread as this was also remarked upon and without starting a new thread this is the most appropriate.
I’v just installed the beta version 1.5.1.18 which has solved the 2 minutes start up but it hasn’t reduced the scan time back to what it was with 1.4.x.x. The scan time has gone from 5 minutes to 17 minutes. It was 25 minutes before I changed the CPU usage from normal to highest (but not to the time critical) setting.
I had never changed the settings (if you could that is!) on 1.4.x.x.
So In reality the time to run a scan has gone from 5 minutes to 25 by changing from 1.4.x.x to the 1.5.1.18 beta version. Is there any reason for the drastic slow down in performance? is it due to the added features (such as tea timer) and if so can they be disabled whilst a scan is in progress?
