spybot search & distroy some how messing with spyware blaster.

OK,,,before i begin,,here are my stats.

dell dimension 2400
windows xp home sp3

avast antivirus free
spybot search and distroy
spware blaster.

ad-aware

i always keep my windows updated.
the listed protection is the most recent version.
they are always updated.

some how i think maybe or maybe not spybot search and distroy is interfering with enabling protection against this one cookie in spware blaster,,so i think.

spware blaster wont enable protection against:
(cool websearch / 5starvideo.com)

when i click enable all protection it seems to do just that.
but when i go to re-open spyware blaster that one "restricted site" item shows up not blocked in the list.

i just noticed this today when i updated.

i just downloaded cw shredder,,,it found nothing,,,so I'm clean there.
--
it does this when i bring up spybot search and distroy first
and then i close that one
then i bring up spyware blaster and thats when i have to re-enble protection on that one item in the restricted site list,,, .
i know its messing up spyware blaster some how,,,i have yet to figure out how.

and yes i just updated both programs today.

i noticed this today too, i just looked at spywareblaster after reading your thread here and i have seen exactly the same as you. i updated spywareblaster yesterday and it wasnt like this then, everything was protected in spywareblaster yesterday. it happened after updating and immunizing with spybot today.

i immunized with spywareblaster again and then everything was being immunized, but after opening spybot and clicking on the immunize button in spybot and then closing spybot and opening spywareblaster then the same thing happened again, spywareblaster was closed when doing this.

.. in SB41 (db update 9/2/2008), I simply ticked "Enable All Protection" since that blessed list is so long and couldn't seem to find

(cool websearch / 5starvideo.com)

.. on my list it's CoolWebSearch (*) in left column (where * is a number from 2-2801 currently) and the address in right column, couldn't find 5starvideo there - nothing between (21) 4pokertips.com and (22) 69teenage.com

Lol, good ol' freebie toolbars and search engines

couldn't find 5starvideo there

you couldnt find it? if you have the latest updates to spywareblaster then you will have it there too. just look closer

[kissbaby]

people in the spyware blasters forum have now noticed the same thing as me,,,, as soon as i posted my thread there.


check it out.

the two sites just need to notify each other is all.

they do work well together if the makers of these products would drop each other a line or two once in awhile.

i hope this site puts out a fix.

i'm glad i'm not the only one having the exact same problem.

Kissbaby,

I noticed your thread and thought at first it was just my computer.

Like you Windows XP, NAV 08 (all clean), adaware (clean), but after
running S & D, it unrestricts that one site?

Has anyone been able to help you resolve this issue.

IMHO
There is not just a SpywareBlaster list and a Spybot list
They are the same list in your computer
if there was a listing in Spybot and/ or spywareblaster
and then Spybot put in a removal for that listing
then
the listing would be removed for both Spybot and Spywareblaster and any other list source.
In the case of Active X there is just the DO NOT EXECUTE BIT
which can be switched back and forth by several programs
Pick the results you want and run that program last

now let's see what's the experts say

The entry that is being disabled by Spybot in the SpywareBlaster list is:
CoolWebSearch (1630) - with the url address 5starvideos.com

Might be nice to know why Spybot is changing an existing Restricted Sites entry - I thought it just added entries. But no harm in adding it back with SpywareBlaster - just click the "Enable All Protection" option.

...I would strongly disagree with 'ski123' about "dumping" Spybot-SD. Apparently, he/she does not give a 'crap' about Spybot-SD or they are just ignorant of Spybot-SD.
