• 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.

Immunize not working on larest Spybot S&D using Vista

Need help! Running latest Spybot S&D on both desktop (VistaHome Premium) and Laptop (Also Vista Home Premium). Firefox will immunize on desktop, but not on Laptop. Why? Do I need to change a setting or something. Have uninstalled and re-installed several times, same results. Help!
 
In Vista you must elevate the administrator rights in order run certain things within Spybot-S&D.

There are several ways to do that:
  • Elevate the administrative rights for a single running:
    • Instead of double clicking (left clicking) to start Spybot, right-click and select "Run as administrator" from the context menu.
  • Permanently elevate.
    • If you are running Spybot from a desktop shortcut for example, right click on the desktop shortcut and select Properties.
    • Then go into Application Compatibility and select "Run As administrator".
 
And to expand on to Terminator's post:
Some users have reported this method to resolve the problem:
You'll have to run Spybot-Search&Destroy with Administer rights (post#1) and click on the Immunize tab. Then click on the Immunize button (Green Cross). That should do the job.
