162 Global(Hosts) files unprotected ?

[LightCatcher]

I have immunized multiple times since June 7th, and can not seem to get the
Global (Hosts) files to all be protected. Each time , it shows 162 files not protected.

Da Da had the same problem (in a different thread), but he had the good fortune of the problem resolving itself. Mine has not resolved.

Is there something I can do to correct this ?

Thanks in advance !

What is your OS? What version of Spybot (HELP>ABOUT) are you using?

1. Do you happen to be using ZoneAlarm firewall?
2. Do you happen to be using Webroot Spysweeper?

Have you tried undoing the immunization and immunize again?

I am using Windows XP Pro (Service Pack 2) and Webroot Spysweeper with Antivirus . No ZoneAlarm.

Version of SpyBot S& D is 1.5.2.20 with TeaTimer

When I tried the "Undo" in Immunize, it has been running probably 30 minutes and is stuck...



Thanks again for any help you can offer.

I recall that there were some problems with SpySweeper and Spybot's immunization since both of their features are similar.

There were some threads months ago and I can't seem to find it.

However, the problem is their immunization conflicting.

Can you disable SpySweeper entirely? This includes all the SHIELDS.

I would suggest you do this when there is no online activity. Then turn off SpySweeper.

Undo Spybot's immunization then redo it. Tell me how it goes.

I did just as you said, and the problem is solved ! Thanks so much for helping me resolve this.

Glad to hear.

This might be tedious for future Spybot updates... but I would suggest you repeat the steps I suggested if the immunization does not go all the way. :cowboy:
