When I downloaded the new version of spybot 1.6.2, It stated that was supposed to have support for Google Chrome, however, when I go to immunize, I don't see chrome (my main browser) listed. It doesn't seem to have changed the immunization database at all. Any suggestions?

Hi Stygimoloch,

welcome to Safer Networking Forums. :)

Did you un-install the old version before you install the new one or did you get it from the updater?

Were all your brothers closed when you go to immunize it?

Can you tell me the file path of Chrome?

Which version of Chrome do you use?

Best regards,

uninstlal, reinstall does not work. same issue.

all browsers were closed,

file path to Chrome is in the prefetch folder for some reason. O_o
 
Prefetch folder contains only *.pf cache files for preformance improvment.
Path of Google Chrome should be C:\Program Files\Google\ (maybe) or C:\Documents and Settings\All Users (or your name)\Google.

Have you tried re-installing Google Chrome?
 
well not yet...i'm hesitant to do that as i don't know if I'll lose my bookmarks for it or not.

And I looked in both those places, and I couldn't seem to find its folder for whatever reason.
 
Right click on the Google Chrome icon that you have on your desktop and go to properties. Then look at the target line and it should tell you where it is located.
 
I:\Documents and Settings\Liore\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe

There it is, and i tried uninstalling and re installing chrome and it doesn't seem to have affected Spybot.

I'm getting really frustrated because now I'm suddenly getting infections that I never had before when I scan.
 
Hello,

I am sorry, but Chrome is only being supported in scanning and fixing at the moment.
It is a very new browser and chrome itself does not offer any interface for immunizing yet.

Best regards
