How can I get Spybot to recognize and immunize Thunderbird? Uninstalling and reinstalling both products in different order does not seem to help.

I'm using Spybot 1.6.0.30 on a Windows XP laptop system.
I'm using Thunderbird version 2.0.0.17, and TrendMicro Internet Security version 16.10.1182 for Antivirus and Firewall. I'm also using Spyware Blaster version 4.1.

I use all of the same above on a Windows Vista desktop system and have had no problem immunizing Thunderbird. Is it possible Spybot only immunizes Thunderbird under Vista?

Thanks.

Hello,

Please try the following:
Go to the folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox

There please delete the permissions.sqlite and generate a new file for the hostperm.1 that is empty.
Now please immunize again.
That should solve the problem.

This information is also available here in our forum.

diverlee was speaking about Thunderbird, not Firefox ;)

Spybot-S&D does not immunize Thunderbird (the email client) at all, are you sure it worked before?

If you refer to Firefox thouch, see Sandras post :)
