    Default very bad spycar test results

    ı have made the spycar test on my computer with all protection services running in spybot ( teatimer etc...) and this is the result
    Spycar Scoring
    HKCU_Run : Spycar change blocked
    HKCU_RunOnce : Spycar change blocked

    HKCU_RunOnceEx : Spycar change allowed
    HKLM_Run : Spycar change blocked
    HKLM_RunOnce : Spycar change blocked

    IE-KillAdvancedTab : Spycar change allowed
    IE-KillConnectionsTab : Spycar change allowed
    IE-KillContentTab : Spycar change allowed
    IE-KillGeneralTab : Spycar change allowed
    IE-KillPrivacyTab : Spycar change allowed
    IE-KillProgramsTab : Spycar change allowed

    IE-SetHomePage : Spycar change blocked
    IE-SetSearchPage : Spycar change blocked

    Hello.

    The spycar test?

    If Spybot-S&D does not detect an item:

    Please zip or rar the file/s and send them to:

    detections(AT)spybot.info (Replace AT with @)

    Best regards.

    these are not items that can be sent. ı mean they are not downloaded on the computer. you click a link and it makes a test. for example ı clicked a link and it tried to change my home page but spybot didnt let it. but ı clicked another link it tried to lockout users from changing the default home page in IE but spybot didnt give a message, it didnt protect. here is the site http://www.spycar.org/Spycar.html
    please try the test tashi. NOTE: the site is a safe site with no spywares

    have you done the test tashi. what do you think about it? why doesn't spybot protect these kinds of attacks?

    Hi there.

    No I haven't tried the tests, but I will give it a whirl on my testing machine.

    hi, ı have read the whole article. it says that this is a test to see how well my antispyware's real time protection is. spybot blocked 6 out of 17. so do you think that ı need another antispy program onacces (spybot on demand) ? or is only spybot enough for real time protection. if it is enough why didnt it block all the tests in spycar?

    Hi there.

    I have no idea of your setup, or the security programs you have installed.

    There are too many variables for me to try to give you a one size fits all answer.

    If you feel you need to add another ASW program for peace of mind, go for it.

    Cheers.

    So how did I get infected in the first place?

    the truth is that ı dont want any other asw programs. ı love spyot and ı have been using it for 3 years. ı just want to know why didint spybot pass all the tests in the spycar test? i really trust spybot and ı advise it to everyone but it made me vers sad when i saw it unsuccesful in the tests.
