• 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.

I downloaded and installed SPYBOT Pro on my wives laptop and activated immunization. Cannot access the internet now and when I run the windows troubleshooter it says a firewall maybe blocking access. The laptop is running Windows XP and was recently updated.

Thx
 
Open Spybot start center,checkmark advanced mode,then click settings,and then the Internet protection tab.If Use Spybot proxy is checkmarked,try unchecking it,then click Apply,and then Ok.
If she is able to access the internet after that(if the above applies),then updates should be downloaded before she runs her first system scan,by clicking Update,then clicking the Update button at the top. :)
