I am currently using SSD 1.6.2.46 on Windows XP S3 HE, but some of the following applies also to 1.6.0 and possibly to older versions also. For the record, recent scans have required around 20 to 22...
I agree with Zer0 Voltage: only one appearance of the Ad-Aware warning; clicking "Ignore" makes it go away and stay away.
I am using Opera 9.50 (final) and can verify what Rapid Dr3am said. SSD 1.5.2 does not successfully handle immunization in Opera 9.50, however, SSD 1.6 Beta1 works quite nicely. So, although Opera...
I have just installed and tested SSD 1.6.0.25 and find it a great improvement: many congratulations!
For the record, my system is running XP (Home edition) SP3 on a 1.7Ghz P4; 512 MB memory; Avira...
It has taken me some time to follow Bitman's suggestions and extensions thereof in an attempt to find out what is causing my very poor experience with SSD 1.5.2.20.
I can state unequivocally that...
Bump!
I really hate to do this, but there ought to be some response from the Spybot Team to the issue in my initial post!
I installed the new SSD version 1.5.2.10 yesterday and was startled by the very long scan time as compared with the just superseded 1.5.2RC1 (=1.5.1.19). On my machine (1.7GHz P4, WinXPSP2 HE,...
To answer the other part of the OP: the three "randomly named" .scr files (screensaver type) are parts of the GUI. You can see what they do by double clicking one of them.
PepiMK,
on my system (Windows XP SP2), %AppData%\Mozilla is the relevant path to follow. This contains a binary file "registry.dat" which contains references to my SeaMonkey profile: this is...
I would like to suggest a (minor?) alteration in the handling of Immunization in Firefox and related Mozilla browsers. At present, the Immunization table shows a section labeled "Firefox" in which...
The reason for Firefox "freezing" when it tries to open the Exceptions list for Installations, Images, Popups is an SSD issue primarily. SSD adds a large number of sites [7500 at the moment] to each...
Further to my earlier post: I have now tested the latest SSD 1.5.1.18 (beta2) and find that the Firefox immunizations are doubled there also. Unlike pwillener (preceding post), I did not notice the...
@ wk357mag,
Thanks for the heads-up! I have just downloaded SSD 1.5.1.18 (beta2), installed it, and tested it. I areee, it's looking good!
The very slow removal of immunization in SSD 1.5.1.17 is a result of the enormous Firefox file in your profile "hostperm.1". You could speed up your task, basically the removal and repair of the IE...
I just downloaded and installed the latest SSD updates (11/14/2007) in version 1.5.1.17 (beta). To my surprise, the immunization lists for Firefox (Cookies, Images, Installations, Popups) are all...
There has been a lot of discussion of SSD's immunization of Firefox. The bottom line, in my view, at least, is this: almost all of the sites listed in the Firefox immunization lists (installations,...
Yodama,
One final post before I abandon this subject, at least for now. I had not thought about the wildcard hostname issue in etc/hosts. You are right, that is an advantage to using the...
Yodama,
When I posted earlier today, I omitted one point that I had intended to make. This is that in Firefox, the user can (should!) set controls to deny (block) all sites from install, popup,...
Yodama,
Thanks for your reply. I have in fact unchecked all Firefox immunizations in SSD except those for "cookies" so I no longer have the enormous hostperm.1 file. That, as is clear from my...
About your profile problem: on my system (WinXPSP2) with Firefox 2.0.0.9 currently, my profile is ...\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\default.xxx. What I wonder is this: in your Firefox\Profiles folder is...
I just saw this thread as I logged onto the forum with some complaints about Firefox (FF) immunization. Like several others in the thread, I use Windows XPSP2, fully patched; FF 2.0.0.9 as of this...
I downloaded and installed the halloween Edition Beta1 this afternoon and gave it a whirl. I am happy to report that it totally removes the "slow loading" issue: the initial progress bar appears on...
Thanks for the revision to the SSD FAQs regarding third-part cookies in Firefox 2! I had overlooked that change!
However, you also need to revise the instructions for Opera! My version 9.0.2...
Well, MD, contraary to what I said before, I went back and allowed SSD to fix the Windows.Explorer issue. What it does is to clear out that NoLogOff value (that is, replaces 1 by 0). This was...
Yes, that's the ticket and also the "beta" item I referred to.
Of course, Microsoft could change the underlying code to do almost anything without warning. And, of course, on a single-user...
The latest update (08/11/2006) of the SSD detections reports the presence of Windows.Explorer as a possible threat on my Windows XP Home SP2 system, running SSD 1.4. The Registry key value involved...
Very simple to acivate TeaTimer. In SSD Advanced Mode, click on Tools and then on Resident. There are two boxes there: check both and you're home again.
An alternative to msconfig is Mike Lin's Startup Control Panel which is available at www.mlin.net for free download. This adds a Control Panel applet which allows very easy management of startup...
That is the same date and size as mine in SSD 1.4.
TeaTimer apparently does not currently monitor the Registry keys that launch various Windows Services. Since such services supply a neat but nasty way to compromise a system, it would be desirable...
See the first "sticky" in this forum for the repair of TeaTimer's window so that you can see things properly.
The first "sticky" in this forum explains how to repair TeaTimer so that the buttons appear properly.
Here's another satisfied customer! Muchas Gracias, ElPiedra!
