I wasn't pleasantly surprised when Spybot detected several bookmarks in my fav folder and called it MalwareC, "site contains pornographic images". The best part is it happens every scan as SPYWARE and no matter if you "fix the problem" or not.
If .... if there is a genuine threat or concern proposed by BOOKMARKS, I am sure the "dysfunctional-wienies-to-be" would store their bookmarks on little hideaway flash drives that they keep in their shallow little pockets. --------------- It maybe helpful if one was to realize that every site tracks its' visitors' history-duh on site's own computer. ........................ If there is a reason as to why "redtube.com" should have its' BOOKMARK classified as SPYWARE or that by some secret method that "redtube.com" can actually obtain ANY ---- ANY info of my usage of their site FROM MY BOOKMARK on my computer ////////////// i wood like 2 no. ............................ You can use your own imagination as to what should happen to a dickhead screwing with a valuable and respectable program like Spybot. http://forums.spybot.info/images/smilies/angel.gif

Thank you for the link tashi.

I see this problem appeared 2008-09-09 or there about. One would think it would take 15 minutes to find the wienie and a day to send out a fix. I guess the wienie roast is taking a little longer. I do understand the fix. But it will only last until the next update, then you would have to do it all over again. I'll wait awhile and see how long it takes to be fixed thru update.
Tks again

Sept.18/08 installed new update and supplemental update. Nothing surprising. Redtube is still listed [do they have an alternate orientation section?] However a semi-ass work around is:
1. check Redtube in Ignore products
2. using Firefox ... Allow redtube.com and www.redtube.com in [Options/Content/Blocked pop-up windows AND Options/Content/load images automatically]
3. Using Explorer , who knows.
I must say that having to recommend a work around with a program that I rely heavily upon and that is important to me because it's saved my ass many times; is repugnant. I've squinted in the right hand top corner; looking for a private message, to no avail, that may explain this idiocy. My roaming to such sites is limited. More than likely, there are other site blackballed. If it's for my protection, I applaud the effort but I'd like an explanation. If it is to sublimate someone's dysfunction, ............... . And the same to an employer, playing in the same playpen.

try unimmunizing and then reimmunize, redtube immunization will be undone with the latest updates.

Your procedure appears to have done the job, thank you. >>>> Since it's not a normal procedure to un-immunize the system, it would have been prudent for a team member to inform the offended parties (like the world) prior to or immediately after the update was released; as to the procedure that would return their system to the healthy state it was before it was adulterated. >>>>I trust a team member has informed the wienie that the burning sensation in the genitalia he/she experienced when clicking a "redtube bookmark" or while viewing a "redtube image" or while writing that fascinating, [pornographic?] threat description (contains pornographic images) ; is generally considered normal [or at least average] by anyone over 15. Thank you for your assistance. And I did vote.

I'm not sure if unimmunization would be required: the entry is flagged as "undo", and these items should be applied even when just immunizing again (which would be a normal opration I guess). So Yodamas description was probaxly just the overcarefull variant.
