And how is a Spybot fix different from Immunization? Don't they both remove the same or prevent the same infected files respectively?

And how is a Spybot fix different from Immunization? Don't they both remove the same or prevent the same infected files respectively?
Thank you.
Maybe I needed to say, what does a scan and the fix after the scan do?
Doesn't immunization protect your system the same way a scan does? Only it protects your system continuosly from the time you immunize onward. Whereas a scan just protects you until the next time you...
But even if you don't immunize, after an updated scan, I will have wiped out the ActiveX controls and restricted sites spyware, for at least until I visit those sites again, is that correct?
Then without immunization, if I run an up to date Spybot scan, I am just removing the ActiveX controls and restricted sites determined by Spybot's team for immediately after that scan and these may...
Don't I need some of these ActiveX controls that are being blocked?
Then immunizing would block certain restricted sites that are not of my choosing, but determined by Spybot as needed to be restricted, is that correct?
How does immunization know which bad hosts to block? What exactly will I give up if I don't use immunization? Thank you
But if I don't install tea timer, does immunization make sense?
Should I go back and update F/P fixes?
What does immunization mean and do? Do I need it with my present configuration? Thank you
During installation of Spybot S&D 1.6.0, I proceeded to Spybot's updater but did not install the following items, (just to refresh your memory you here I did not install the tea timer, skins,...
Then it looks like skins, colorblind, additional languages, and tea timer are the only things i can avoid on the install, do you agree?
Also, I have Trend Micro's CW Shredder. Do you still think I need Spybot's file
shredder?
You say,if I don't install Explorer file plugin, then I won't be able to right-click on a file and scan it with Spybot S&D. Please correct me if I'm reading you wrong. Thank you
If by single file scanning you mean, that the only way I can right-click on a file and scan it for spyware, than yes Explorer file plugin is something I'd want. Is that what you're saying?
As for...
Do I need the Secure shredder option, if I am the only one using this computer?

Thank you but what about the other choices on install you did not mention?

I want to eliminate all unnecessary parts to the installation, cut the program to the bare bones and only use the program as an on demand scanner. I noticed the following on install and wonder if I...
Thanks for the explanation. Then would you say if I just wanted to use Spybot as an on demand scanner to disable just the tea timer alone and leave the SDHelper functioning? Is there any down side to...
Hello again,
Could you please explain the Resident SD Helper fully? I am undecided whether or not to disable it and just use Spybot as an on demand anti spyware scanner. Thank you very much
thank you
Thank you.
How do I add the little note that you have below your responses, describing your system, to my responses too?
Can Resident Shield be disabled, just like teatimer if I don't want it? Don't know if this question was answered. Thank you.
Good to know and thank you.
Thank you.
What will SDHelper provide if I leave it on?
I set a restore point on System Restore before installing Spybot. If I revert back to that point, will that undo all changes that Spybot may...
Thank you for all your help. I think I will reinstall 1.6 without the teatimer or at least disable it and run scans as needed. Is there a link to view files that are considerd potentially dangerous?
Yes you did clear my doubts about untd_recovery, thank you very much, but you may not be available the next time. Whitelists and blacklists are good but if you can't undo the changes than it could be...
If I can't undo any changes made and I'm not certain of whether to allow or deny a change, then I don't think the teatimer is right for me. A more experienced person would be better adept at the use...
Then the teatimer is not for me. Thank you.
Yes thank you. But I want to know before I add or deny a change if I'm doing the right thing. What do I do for instance if I deny or allow a change and want to undo it? Say for instance I denied...
I stand corrected. The very small fix was installed to my Desktop. Is that all I need do to completely delete it from my system?
As for Spybot scans, not being familiar with the terms, I guess you...
[QUOTE=drragostea;225261][FONT="Tahoma"]The general idea is that the TeaTimer is Spybot-Search&Destroy introduces the use of black&whitelists based on LASSHes.

[QUOTE=drragostea;225038][FONT="Tahoma"]Hello sweets.
I've encountered this entry when I first reformatted my Sony VAIO. If I'm correct it has to do with the Netzero software. Are you using any...
Thanks, the reason I don't want the tea timer is because a scan with Spybot 1.6 with the tea timer located something called 'untd_recovery" on startup. I put it on my white list only because I'm not...
Yes, but I wish to remove all traces of Spybot 1.6 and the small fix from my registry. Please explain how to do so fully, Thank you
[QUOTE=md usa spybot fan;223247]sweets53:

Thank you.
Then after I perform the manual steps to remove Spybot 1.6, can I remove the "very small fix" I've installed, how would I do that?
Will doing the above remove completely Spybot 1.6 from...
Yes Sandra I already read the above information. My question is how do I locate this hidden folder that you describe using Windows XP Home Edition ?

Thank you.
During my first scan I "allowed" a certain registry change in startup only because I'm not having any problems with my system presently. Looking at my Notepad, it appears it was...

I would appreciate the free registry cleaner & knowledge of the other scans you mentioned.
Thank you
It appears I had no alterations to the registry but I would appreciate your help in coming to that conclusion. I read & copied the article you supplied by Symantec on "W32.DH@mm". I followed step #...
