Hello,

I'm new. When running immunize I have 19 files left unprotected. I typed this info in to google & came across this 5 step cure

http://www.techsupportforum.com/mic...t/212467-spybot-won-t-immunize-all-items.html

One of the streps is to use Panda scan which I did & it shows I had 4 viruses which it said were now disinfected, & various other spyware jobbies hacks etc. so it is now suggesting I download "Spyware blaster" which is listed as untrustworthy on this site

Please tell me what you recommend Mr & Mrs Spybot or like expert

thanks a lot Lacanox:)
 
Lacanox:

Are you running other anti-malware software the may be preventing full immunization, such as Webroot's Spy Sweeper?

Just to clarify, the program that was recommended was probably SpywareBlaster which is not on the Rogue list, it is a good program. ;)

So how did I get infected in the first place?

It will protect you from most spy/foistware in it's database by blocking installation of their ActiveX objects.

Thank you all jolly nice

Hello chaps

thanks for the advice. the version of Spybot I have is 1.5.1.15. so I will update now.

thanks for the heads up on SpywareBlaster & I will try to remember that it is safe. And I will install it having read a bit further.

I have been using AVG anti virus & adaware the latter does not run in the back ground, I just update it & then do a scan from time to time.

I have just downloaded Kaspersky anti virus free trial & am doing a full scan with that. They too had found several viruses & hacking tools with their online scan so I'm thinking down load their trial version & get rid of the viruses. My AVG did say it was up to date but it missed these viruses.

also now just read the Tony Klein how Did I get Infected. Excellent & thanks.

which confirms my basic belief that most humans are decent & honest

Cheers
