View Full Version : Is my immunization not working?

The last time that I used Spybot, I updated everything, then immunized, then ran Search & Destroy.

Today, I find that some of the companies listed in the "Problems" list were also listed last time.

Am I doing something wrong? I expected that no previous company would be listed after immunization.

Hello,

Which version of Spybot Search and Destroy do you run?

Which items do you mean exactly that are found?
What are they named?

Which browser do you use?

Best regards

1.4

See attached screen shot. Only Statcounter, Value Click, and Win32.Small.ddx are new. The remainder were seen on the previous occasion.

> Which browser do you use?

Firefox 1.5.0.7

Hello,

We are sorry, but the Immunization does not work for Firefox, it is only for the Internet Explorer.
Maybe in one of the coming versions there will be a bad download blocker for Firefox, but not at the moment.
