Hello. Whenever I immunize with Spybot, the Unprotected goes from 1 to 0. However, when I click "check again", there is one unprotected. What's going on here?
Hello. Whenever I immunize with Spybot, the Unprotected goes from 1 to 0. However, when I click "check again", there is one unprotected. What's going on here?
xEnvious:
What profile (category) is the unimmunized entry in?
i.e.
Code:Profile Firefox Default (Cookies) – XP Count – Vista Count Default (Images) – XP Count – Vista Count Default (Installations) – XP Count – Vista Count Default (Popups) – XP Count – Vista Count Internet Explorer (32 Bit) \Software (Cookies) – Unprotected – Protected - Total \Software (Domains) – Unprotected – Protected - Total \Software (IPs) – Unprotected – Protected - Total \Software (Plugins) – Unprotected – Protected - Total Internet Explorer (32/64 Bit) .DEFAULT (Cookies) – Unprotected – Protected - Total .DEFAULT (Domains) – Unprotected – Protected - Total ... ... Windows Global(Hosts)
Getting an answer is one thing, learning is another.
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition running on a 2.40GHz Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor with 512 MB of RAM and a 533 MHz System Bus.
Hello.
Under Firefox:
Default (Cookies) – 0 - 9923 - 9923
Default (Images) – 1 - 9922 - 9923
Default (Installations) – 1 - 9922 - 9923
Default (Popups) – 1 - 9922 - 9923
It blocks everything else.
Btw, I used FF 3.0.3 (or whatever is the latest). When I installed FF3, I just installed it on top of FF2 without uninstalling FF2.

I'm sorry but I am not familiar with Firefox immunization. I hope someone else will be able to help.

xEnvious,
As a suggestion, check your firefox browser options for a site that has explicit permission to install add ons under security, to load images under content and perhaps allowed to use cookies under Privacy.
The following are allowed in addons:
www.java.com
update.mozilla.org
tools.google.com
addons.mozilla.org
There are no exceptions for cookies.
Firefox v2 series keeps its permissions in a file caled hostperm.1.
Firefox V3 series keeps its permissions in a file called permissions.sqlite.
Spybot v1.6 from memory handles the default situation for these files differently to what earlier versions did.
Where the files are depends on what operating system you are using.
You haven't specified any of the above, and the situation is possibly more complicated by having installed Firefox V3 over Firefox V2.
So to start off:-
What operating system are you using?
What version of spybot exactly are you using?
Can you do a windows search for both of the above two files and post back the exact path to each one, or whichever one is found?
Incidentally, have you read http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=36272

Hello.
I am using:
Windows XP SP3
Spybot 1.6
Yes
I have missed that thread somehow O.o
But, I just did it and it works! However, I have a question. Is it okay to just empty permissions.sqlite forever?
The question was "Can you do a windows search for both of the above two files and post back the exact path to each one, or whichever one is found?"
How does "Yes" help?
Did what exactly?But, I just did it and it works!
If you are now using hostperm.1 and it works, then the answer is maybe??However, I have a question. Is it okay to just empty permissions.sqlite forever?
Do you have only hostperm.1, do you have only permissions.sqlite, or do you have both?
As I said in an earlier post
Firefox v2 series keeps its permissions in a file caled hostperm.1.
Firefox V3 series keeps its permissions in a file called permissions.sqlite.
Creating a situation where Firefox V3 uses hostperm.1 instead of permissions.sqlite might well work at this stage, but it might also come back to bite later depending on future developments in Firefox.
My apologies for just skimming through the questions.. I had just woken up when I replied. Sorry!
hostperm.1 is located in:
C:\Documents and Settings\Dan\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\pafjlbtw.default
permissions.sqlite is located in:
C:\Documents and Settings\Dan\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\pafjlbtw.default
There are no more unprotected immunizations when I check again on Spybot.Did what exactly?
After doing a search, I have both.Do you have only hostperm.1, do you have only permissions.sqlite, or do you have both?
Ah.. I see. What if I delete hostperm.1 instead? My permissions.sqlite is still in the recycling bin so should I keep it in there or restore it back to where it came from?
