However, lately there has been a change on how malware handles it's 'servers', many domains hosting malware exist only for a short time and those who exist longer are mostly hijacked websites.
Protection against malicious downloads from legit websites is handled our IE browser helper object in Spybot S&D 1.6.2.
Immunization mostly blocks the whole domain which is usually not wanted when a legit domain only has a couple malicious files for download (IE Helper will block these downloads).

Did that explanation in the thread not help? Also which version of Spybot-S&D are you using. :)

Best regards.

I am using 1.6.2
Sorry I'm just bored of downloading updates that appear to do nothing.

I click immunize and I get 0 updated.
