    Default Unprotected Files

    When I run the immunize function of S&D the results state that there are 814 files unprotected.

    I have run the S&D search and destroy function and have "fixed and repaired" any items that come up. Unfortunately after doing this when I run "Immunize" again it still shows 814 files unprotected.

    Should I be concerned that 814 files are shown as being unprotected? If so, what should I do?

    thank you

    Devin

    devin104:

    What Windows OS are you running?

    What version of Spybot - Search & Destroy are you running (Spybot » Help » About)?

    What category (profile) are the unimmunized entries in?

    Not entirely. Are you indicating that there are some of the 814 unprotected items in each of those profiles?

    If so, immunize as follows:
    • Go into Spybot > Immunize.
    • Click the "Immunize" button at the top of the right pane (the button with large green plus sign).

    If not, please list the profiles that have unprotected items and the quantities of unprotected and protected in those profiles.

    Default Infection breakdown

    What I meant to indicate was that the total number of affect files is 814.

    I hope what I enter below is clearer:

    I believe that you are going into Spybot > Immunize and not actually immunizing just reporting what you see!!!

    Please click the "Immunize" button at the top of the right pane and report what happens!!!

    Default Bad Cheksum?

    Bingo. Your cure worked.

    I have one other question.

    When I do "updates" I get a message that says:

    "Immunization !!!Bad Checksum!"

    What should I do to repair this?

    Thank you

    When you get "Bad Checksum!" errors select another download site and try the update again.

    Default New issue: Load Zip Error & Antivirus XP2008

    I have done as you suggested and the update worked correctly.

    Now what I hope will be my final question.

    This morning when I turned on my computer two message came up on the main screen:

    1. "Load Zip Error" "No Such Directory"

    Once I click the message "O.K." the following message pops up:

    2. "Antivirus XP2008" "An error occurred while loading database" "Probably your database file outdated or have invalid format"

    I do not know why these messages are coming up. What do I need to do to remedy this problem?

    Thank you
