Hello. I just upgraded a client's old Windows 98 SE on a Toshiba notebook/laptop with SpyBot to v1.6.2. When I first ran its v1.6.2 with updates, I noticed immunize doesn't see IE6.0 SP1 and Firefox v2.0.0.20. I had to exit Spybot and retry and it worked. Is this a known issue? Thank you in...

Weird. When I double click on a MP3 file in my updated Windows XP Pro. SP3's Explorer, it runs SpyBot S&D v1.6.2 to scan it. I checked my file association for MP3 and it says run mplayer2.exe (yes, I am old school). What's up? Thank you in advance. :)

Hi! Are 3/11/2009 Spybot updates late today or something? I saw no updates so far. :( Yep, I am crazy for the latest updates on every Wednesday morning. [grin] Thank you in advance. :)

I think this is a false positive: Spywareinfo.TrafficZ: Bookmark (Mozilla: ant) (Bookmark, nothing done) Common Dialogs: History (4 files) (Registry key, nothing done) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ComDlg32\OpenSaveMRU Log: Activity: COM+.log...

Hi. I noticed SpyBot's immunize no longer sees my old updated Windows 2000 SP4's global hosts file. I have to use its Tools -> Hosts File to add the lines to my c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file. And this is the original hosts file from 2002. Any ideas what happened to this immunize...

According to http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=35602 ... there are 10/22/2008 updates, but my Spybot v1.6 (with 10/15/2008 updates) doesn't see them. What's up? Thank you in advance. :)

Hi! Is it me or is the latest non-beta SpyBot having problems immunizing its last week's hosts file in an updated Windows 2000 SP4? I had to restore original hosts file before modified by Spybot and immunized. Last week, I couldn't add one line to the global hosts file. Last night, I couldn't...

Hello. For some reason, this old Windows 2000 SP4's immunized global hosts from previous week always show seven lines not in the hosts for the latest updates. I have to restore my original unmodified hosts file and reimmunized to get 0 lines. Is this a known issue with Spybot v1.6 in an updated...

Is it me or is Spybot v1.6.0 no longer checking Firefox v2's cookies? I have seen this in Windows XP Pro. SP3 and 2000 SP4 so far. It used to in the past. Did Spybot drop this? Thank you in advance. :)

I have a question. What gets added to Spybot's hosts list to be blocked? I was wondering why doubleclick.net and google-analytics.com are not on the list. Thank you in advnace. :)

Hi. Since I will be on crappy dial-up modem during a temporary house eviction, I do not want to download Spybot updates via it (3 KB/sec). Does SpyBot have a place to download updates manually. I'd love to download them at work (have v1.6 on a PC), copy to an USB Flash stick/drive and copy to...

Maybe I am going crazy, but is the new Explorer scan feature in SpyBot v1.6 crashing my Windows Explorer? I uninstalled it and things are calm down. I didn't have this problem before I upgraded v1.5.2 to v1.6 two days ago. Screen shot of a crash...

Hello. How do I disable this new v1.6' feature? Thank you in advance. :)

Hi. I just noticed the latest Spybot's hosts file has Baidu.com's search domains listed. Why are they in the list? Does Baidu (not its search result links) supply bad malwares or something? I know some people use this specific search engine for Chinese stuff and were wondering why they couldn't...

Hello! Ever since I upgraded v1.5.1 to v1.5.2 via its updater (log says last cookies cleanup was on 2/7/2008), my SpyBot no longer find SeaMonkey v1.1.8 cookies (inside cookies.txt) to clean up on my home system (Windows XP Pro. SP2 with IE6.0 SP2 and all updates). On my other desktop machine...

Hello! How often does SpyBot v1.5.1's updater updates Windows' host files? I noticed my host files were last updated on 9/5/2007. Have there been any updates since then? Thank you in advance. :)

Hello, It seems like 10/31/2007 SpyBot updates have a false positive for me. I never had this one before. Basically, it found Smitfraud-C. Ad-Aware SE Personal v1.06r1 (with all updates) didn't find anything odd either a few days ago. I posted the exported log and SpyBot results log in a zip...

Hello, In v1.4, I used to be able to see a list of updates and check/uncheck them to download and install. Did v1.5.1.15 remove this option? I can't find the option to do this. I only found server selection. Thank you in advance. :)

v1.5.1: "spybotsd caused an invalid page fault in module KERNEL32.DLL at ..." Hello, I just installed SpyBot v1.5.1 (uninstalled v1.3 first) and configured it (e.g., scan all lists, added Spybot's hosts) on my father's old Toshiba laptop/notebook (Celeron) with Windows 98 SE (all critical...

Hello, Is anyone else noticing SpyBot v1.5.1 tends to hang/pause for about ten seconds when checking for updates? After that, the downloads are fast. I don't recall having this problem in previous versions like 1.4. I noticed this behavior in Windows XP and 2000 on various fast/modern machines...
