Am I Protected ?

[14771820]

Hello
I use Firefox as my Browser.
After running Spybot search & destroy I immunise.
I get a message 'permanent Internet Explorer Immunity'
and also
'permanently running bad down load blocker for Internet Exploxer'
Does this mean that by using firefox I do not get the above mentioned protection?
any cooments greatly appreciated
Thanks

We are sorry, but the Immuization does not work for Firefox, it is only for the Internet Explorer. ActiveX isn´t supported by Firefox, so there is no need for protection there.
Maybe in one of the coming versions there will be a bad download blocker for Firefox, but not at the moment.

Thank you for your quick responce.
I run spybot alternative days with ad aware which occasionally locates a 'spy' but spybot rarely does.
I look forward to the efforts to involve Firefox.
Thank you

I would just like to point out that a portion Spybot's "Permanently Internet Explorer Immunity" as well as the primary feature in the "Permanently running bad download blocker for Internet Explorer" is the blocking of third party (tracking) cookies.

The last post in the thread that Zenobia (http://forums.spybot.info/member.php?u=145) referenced explains how to block third party (tracking) cookies within Firefox.
