    Not Actually Fixing Problems, It Would Appear

    Firefox 3.5.4 (as of a short while ago), Vista Home Premium, Spybot 1.6.2. I've been a bit suspicious about Spybot's removing tracking cookies recently, so I took a screen shot after last week's update, and again after today's update. Close Firefox, update Spybot, immunize, run Spybot problem...

    Sudden BHO Insall Attempt by Spybot

    Spybot 1.5.1.18, last updated 2Jan08. Windows XP Home, SP2. I just started Spybot to check the immunization, whereupon Spybot apparently (according to SpySweeper) tried to install a BHO in IE. Closed Spybot, restarted, process repeated. Where did this BHO install come from? It has not shown...

    Firefox Immunization Dropped and a Related Question

    1. Yesterday, after doing some computer maintenance that required a reboot, I started Spybot, and found that sixty-two items for Firefox, previously immunized, were no longer immunized. Ran Immunization successfully. 2. This morning, after a reboot required by an update to McAfee Virus Scan...

    Hosts File Immunization, Redux

    Spybot 1.5.1.15, Windows XP Home (SP2) This may be a continuation of the immunization problems I reported during the beta-test period: For both of the two latest data-file updates (including today's), the immunization process stops with the Hosts file not immunized. This morning, after running...

    Will Not Immunize Hosts File

    After installing today's updates, I closed Spybot (1.5.1.14), restarted it, went into Immunize. Immunize ran until it go to the Windows Global (Hosts) area, whereupon it stopped, with 425 entries not immunized. Closed Spybot, repeated process, again Hosts file not completely immunized. Tried...

    Firefox Immunization Conundrum

    Firefox 2.0.0.6; Windows XP Home, SP2; Spybot 1.5.1.14. I've seen this a few times before: Yesterday, everything was immunized. This morning, in my in-use Firefox profile, there were eight-each nonimmunized entries for Images/Installations/Popups, and 2 each for Cookies. Knowing that I had...

    [Fixed] Repeatable Crash

    Open Spybot 1.5.1.14, go to "Recovery": Try to close Spybot, it will crash every time. I don't know for certain when this started, but I do see it now, after having run a scheduled scan last night and then installing today's update and immunizing. (Incidentally, I had to immunize twice: The...

    Possible Start-Up Problem

    No way to reproduce this, at least not that I am aware of, so it is posted only to report that it happened: Installed v. 1.5.1.14, went into Immunization, where I was told that it likely would not work unless I logged on as Administrator. Given that I am the administrator, I was quite puzzled...

    Scheduled Scan Oddity

    This happens every week when a scheduled scan runs, and it never happens when I run a scan manually: "The fax receiver failed to open." When I cancel that message, I get another pop-up that the Delrina WinFax receiver failed to open. I also get (and it is expected) the "may we run Spybot when...

    Immunization Problems

    Using Spybot 1.5.1.13 (and at least one earlier beta-test release), I have been encountering repeated immunization problems. For example: Yesterday, I updated Spybot, and started the immunization process. After a while, the process stopped, and I could not close Spybot from within Spybot. I...
