Hi,

Is there a file of all the entries that Spybot 1.6.2.46 adds in the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility] registry key as part of its "Immunize" protection?

I first used Spybot to immunize IE7 on my Windows XP machine (SP3) a few days ago, then clicked to "Undo" the protection so that I could try immunization using SpywareBlaster.

I have now clicked to "Undo" the changes made by SpywareBlaster as well, yet the registry key [HKLM\...\ActiveX Compatibility] still contains almost 8,700 entries!

The same key on my laptop (also XP and SP3) has only 525 entries.

In other words, having "Undone" the immunization on both Spybot and SpywareBlaster, I would have expected the number of entries under this key to be back to the level before I applied immunization, around the 500 mark.

Bottom line is I want to clear out my [HKLM\...\ActiveX Compatibility] key to be back to its "pre-immunized" state, and a list of all the entries added by Spybot would be very helpful.

Kind regards,
