• Welcome Guest, to the Spybot Forums! It's 2025, and we just upgraded our forum software.

    Today is Safer Internet Day, and with our new forum, you can finally use passkeys to login. That was about time!

    Of course, you could ask if a forum is still useful, with so many social media networks out there where you might already have an account, and met a lot of users. You can now use your login from some of those networks to log in here. And by posting here, your question and data is stored on our servers and not automatically shared with a whole social media network.

    We'll also start using the forum for small bits of information, announcements and more again.

Browser helper to block bad downloads not installed?

Hello.

This is an informative article:
How Spybot-S&D protects against the installation of Spyware/Malware

Open Spybot-S&D>Mode>Advanced>Tools>Resident.

Make sure Both Resident Protection boxes are checked.
Resident "Sd Helper"
Resident "Tea Timer.

Then if you don't want to receive popup warnings from Spybot's IE Resident: (most people choose not to)

Setting Spybot's IE Resident to "Block all pages silently":

Right click on resident icon in task tray >Mouse over Resident IE >Make sure "Block all pages silently" is ticked.
OR
Go into Spybot-S&D > Immunize.
Look in the last section labeled "Permanently running bad download blocker for Internet Explorer".
In the pull-down below "Enable permanent blocking of bad addresses in Internet Explorer" there are three options:

* Block all pages silently
* Display dialog when blocking
* Ask for blocking confirmation

Select "Block all pages silently".

Hope that helps. :)
