* Operating System Windows vista
* Browser and Version (any browser)
* Version of Spybot S&D and Date of the latest update : update 4 feb 2009 SPYBOT VERSION:1.6.0.31
* where did the false positive occur :host's file, spybot immunization updates, firefox, internetexplorer.
o Scan result n/a
o after fix n/a
o Spybot message at start of scan n/a
o Teatimer message when a program was executed n/a
o not reachable/restricted website: www.redtube.com (porn site)
o SDHelper popup n/a

redtube is in no way mall ware/spyware or virus!!!! i even scanned it by *avg* and *avast*to make sure this is a false positive
*yes the new versions of these scan websites*


i could not access the website so i checked my hosts file and found it has bean added by spybot. i did a bit of research on google and lots of people have had/have this problem. I removed all my spybot immunization *host* entries using spybot and reloaded them this was successful in getting access to redtube back so i am not sure if this is a existing problem that was not reloaded by immunization for some reason or a problem that has bean dealt with... :oops:

so thanks spybot team if you check this out

hello,

this is a past issue, reimmunizing fixes this.
It is advised to reimmunize after an update to update the Immunization too.

Edit: md usa spybot fan was faster ^^
