• 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.

Spybot Immunization bug

OS - windows 7 ultimate (x86)
version - 1.6.2
most utilised browser - firefox 7.0.1
other info - latest updates

The problem is with the immunization process.




Everytime i immunize, those unprotected parts are fixed but when i run Spybot again, they appear as unprotected again. I had this problem before, but it was because i didn't run Spybot as administrator. BUT in this case, it's of no use. No matter what i do they keep appearing as unprotected.

False positive or just a bug?
 
Hello,

There seems to be a problem with immunizing FireFox. After FireFox has been opened new, the immunization is gone.

We are aware of this issue and have it already in our bugtracker.

For now you use this workaround:

1. Open Firefox, go to Tools | Options | Privacy | Settings.
There uncheck the checkbox for "Site Preferences".

2. Open Firefox, go to Tools | Clear Recent History... OR press Ctrl+Shift+Del.
There uncheck the checkbox for "Site Preferences".

Best regards
Sandra
