Free Edition Immunization

[TiffanyJiles]

Hi all,

I have been using Spybot (free Edition) for a number of years. It seems like it has been a while since I have had to apply any immunization(s). Have there not been any updates for a while? Is immunization no longer available in the free edition? Am I possibly doing something wrong. Any insight or suggestion(s) would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

No,you aren't doing anything wrong,new immunizations don't happen with every update.Please see this post about Spybot 1.6.2 and immunization:

In addition,there are also sometimes entries removed from immunization,and then new ones added,so it might coincidentally appear that there have been no updates to immunization. :)
(The reason why some immunization is removed is shown in the Spybot help file,so I'll quote it here.)

Immunization performance
The bigger the lists of items to block are, the more computing power is needed. To ensure optimum performance we constantly monitor the Internet and remove inactive domains from our lists.
