• 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.

spybot block xat.com?

nexus_013:

Spybot no longer block that site.

However, between 2007-09-05 and 2007-10-24 immunization entries were added for both xat.com and www.xat.com to Internet Explorer's Restricted Sites zone and both entries were also in Spybot's HOSTS file entries.

The entries no longer were in the immunization files and HOSTS file entries starting with the 2007-10-31 updates.

Because Spybot does not automatically remove Restricted Sites zone entries when they are eliminated from the immunization file, those entries may still be in your system and must be removed manual if they are adversely affecting you access to the site.

If the entries are still in the Spybot added portion of your HOSTS file, they can be eliminated in Spybot 1.5 or Spybot 1.6 as follows:
  • Go into Spybot > Immunize.
  • Right click on the right hand pane and select "Deselect all".
  • Scroll down to the bottom of the right hand pane and under Windows check "Global (Hosts)".
  • Click the "Undo" button at the top of the right pane.
  • Then click the "Immunize" button at the top of the right pane.
