getting SpyBot installed on all browsers

Hello everyone, I am a new, (but happy!) S&D user with a question:

How can i get Spy Bot S&D to be installed on all of my browsers?
I am guessing as an add-on, that is how it is listed.

I should point out that my PC is equipped with the Windows 7 64bit OS, which comes from the factory with 2 browsers, (32 and 64 bit). I also have FireFox installed, v15. FireFox is the browser that i downloaded and installed Spy bot on my PC with.

It is listed on my 32bit IE7 browser, (as an add-on) and it functions properly.
It is NOT listed on my 64bit IE7 browser, and does not function.
It is NOT listed on my FireFox browser, and it does not function.

Since i may at one time or another, use any of my browsers, i need Spy Bot to function on all of them. Especially since i will soon have to pay for it!;)
Hopefully they will get that issue solved in a the next few weeks.:bigthumb:

Thanks in advance for the help, and GREAT product!!

There is a choice, Spybot-S&D has a free edition for personal use. :)

Which version do you have installed, the stable version 1.6.2 or the Beta/RC 2.0?

Is there a reason your version of Internet Explorer has not been updated from IE7?

Best regards.

OOPS! :oops:
I have Windows "7" on the brain!!:slap:

I have IE9- sorry!!!!
And i have the Beta 2.0.10.0 build-20120830

My 32 bit IE9 browser has a configure Spybot tab available under "Tools" See screenshot, and is the only browser that has such a tab. Spybot seems to work great in that browser in "catching" anything when i open up an infected webpage. It won't in my other two browsers

It will, however, catch everything else if i run a system scan, but i hope to be able to use Spybot the same way on Firefox:FF: (my main browser) and the 64 bit IE9 too.
Thank you for your help tashi:)

SpyBot not recognizing browser

This seemed the most logical place for my question..maybe not but here goes. SpyBot is not listing Chrome :confused: in the list of browers I have on my computer. I am running Windows 7.

Thanks for any help with this issue! :)

Chrome is not supported for immunusation and there is also no extension for it yet but it should be listed into settings-》Browsers.

Did u start spybot as Administrator?
How have u chrome installed, using its installer or using a Archive?
Is it 32 or 64 bit Windows?
