• 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.

Many times when I try to go to a site I receive a pop-up saying spybot has blocked "Avenue A". Not only is this annoying but I can't even open my site. How do I stop this annoying pop-up?
 
Hello.

Setting Spybot's IE Resident to "Block all pages silently":

Right click on resident icon in task tray >Mouse over Resident IE >Make sure "Block all pages silently" is ticked.
OR
Go into Spybot-S&D > Immunize.
Look in the last section labeled "Permanently running bad download blocker for Internet Explorer".
In the pull-down below "Enable permanent blocking of bad addresses in Internet Explorer" there are three options:

* Block all pages silently
* Display dialog when blocking
* Ask for blocking confirmation

Select "Block all pages silently".
