    Exclamation cant immunize 12 items

    hello

    running win98se, sbsd 1.4, firefox 1.04, using spywareblaster, ad-aware se, f-secure antivirus 2005 and netgear firewall.

    1.when i run -immunize-, it says now (12.12.05) 3851 bad products blocked

    2.when i run -check again- i get allways 3839 bad products allready blocked, 12 additional protections possible

    3.then i goto 1.

    i just cant get these items immunized, nor i know where to look at, what bad products are these

    any suggestions?

    There appears to be a bug in Spybot 1.4 that causes this problem on Windows 98/98SE/ME systems. The program tries to immunize a few items in registry hives that do not exist on those systems.

    Since Spybot normally immunizes the same items in multiple registry hives on Window 2000 and XP systems does not appear that the actual immunization is affected by this problem on Windows 98/98SE/ME systems.

    Getting an answer is one thing, learning is another.


    Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition running on a 2.40GHz IntelŪ PentiumŪ 4 Processor with 512 MB of RAM and a 533 MHz System Bus.

    Hello,

    This is a little bug in Spybot - Search & Destroy. The programm tries to immunize other accounts.
    Probably, you do not have the rights to immunize because you are running Spybot as a normal user and not as admin.
    As a current solution you can try to "Undo" the Immunisation. Now the bad products are allowed.
    Then "Immunize" again. This should solve the problem for now.
    We are about to locate this bug and fix it.
    The fix will be downloadable with our next program upgrade.
    We hope that it will be available soon.

    Some more information is availible at our forum:

    Default FYI did not work on Win98se

    I too had the problem of 2386 products blocked when immunized but when rechecked still 6 remained. The undo and re-immunization did not solve the problem. Win 98se, Firfox 1.5, NIS 2005, SB 1.4

    Sorry for the duplicate post but I was not sure if I put the first post in the correct location.....Thanks for your help.
