from poster skkk:


It seems that there is again problem with immunization of Firefox on Windows 98 based systems after upgrading from Spybot 1.5.2 to Spybot 1.6. SpywareBlaster freezes on start when checking for protection of Firefox. This problem does not occur on Windows XP, only on Windows 98.

more:


The problems exists only when Mozilla Firefox 2 is immunized also by Spybot 1.6. When I unimmunize it in Spybot then SpywareBlaster 4.1 starts normally and it is not freezing.

the temporary solution is this (http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=1282976&postcount=6).

can spybot do something to create a more permanent fix to this?

Perhaps you could be a little more explicit about what type of "…permanent fix …" you expect.

As far as I can tell the procedure (http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=1282976&postcount=6) outlined by javacool (http://www.wilderssecurity.com/member.php?u=343) is a permanent fix. i.e. Undo Spybot's Firefox immunization for "(Popups)" and "(Installations)" and don't use that type of immunization in the future.
