    Default March 3rd updates



    In the past when I downloaded updates, I always had to Immunize because many categories were showing 'Unprotected.'

    However, today when I downloaded the March 3rd updates for my WinXP notebook and Win7 (64-Bit) desktop, I noticed that nothing was marked "Unprotected."

    Why wasn't anything marked as "Unprotected," as always happened in the past?

    Is this something new?
    Vista also Win7 (64-Bit) IE 9; MSE; SpywareBlaster; MalwareBytes; SpyBot

    I had the same results,,I've started a thread here about it,,its called,,"Is this normal". It has never happened to me before and I use spybot on 3 computers,,two with XP and the other Vista. It just seems very odd that this happened, at least I know I'm not alone with this.

    I just had the same thing happen to me.

    WinXP Home IE7

    Seems really odd

    ANd I noticed that the total # of protected is the same as it was 2 days ago.

    I got a reply in my thread but it really doesn't address the issue I don't think.

    Same happened to me on 3 XP computers this morning. Did not really think about until I saw these posts. Was the first time that I had nothing to immunize that i can recall.

    Exactly what I posted in my thread.

    I agree...especially as the total # of "Protected" didn't change...so the "Immunize" hasn't been "automated".

    Not every update necessarily includes additional sites to be imunized against.

    That MAY be true...but a "heads up" to users would be most Professional ;-)

    I've been using SpyBot for over 5 years now...and this is the first instance of that happening

    The same thing happened on June 24, 2009 (the day I joined here) and was discussed in this thread which included an explanatory post:

    Gotta assume there were no new domains added today, either.
