• 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.

Bad URL Pop-Up

How do I stop the bad URL pop-up from appearing on virtually every web page without closing down the application. I'm getting tired of clicking the "deny" button.
 
tcorris:

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".
 
Wow so this actually works great, I've always had it to "Block all pages silently" mode and couldn't ever watch it in action :)
 
Warning

Warning . . . . you'll get really tired of the pop-ups. Nice that there is an option to do the job silently.
