Cannot immunize one user on multi-user PC

[Spleen]

Hello.

I look after a PC that has four users on it. It runs XP sp2, Norton AV 04, Adaware (passive freebie edition), and Spybot sd 1.4. Spybot was installed under IE6 I think, but we now have IE7.

My prolem is this. I have logged into each account and have immunized them individually. Spyot says the process has worked in every case. When I check the prohibited sites listed in IE, I get the list of cookies as expect on 3 of 4 users. On the 4th, I used to get just the first 2 sites listed, and since IE7 was installed now it shows NONE! For this user, I have turned on the resident teatimer thing.

Anybody got any ideas whats wrong? Its crossed my mind to eliminate that user and start again.

Much appreciated.

I used to get just the first 2 sites listed, and since IE7 was installed now it shows NONE!

The two sites listed rings a bell from a problem that happened in March 2005. Is the user in question that old and were you using Spybot immunization back then?

If so:

• Download the attached REGQuery1.zip file.
• Extract REGQuery1.bat into its own folder (see Note #1).
• Execute REGQuery1.bat by double clicking on it.
• After the execution of REGQuery1.bat it should have created a REGQuery1.txt file in the same folder where you executed the REGQuery1.bat file from.
• Double click on the REGQuery1.txt file and it should open with Notepad.
  • If the file is empty, I guessed wrong and the problem that happened in March 2005 is not the cause of your problem.
  • If the REGQuery1.txt file lists something, copy the contents of the REGQuery1.txt file to the clipboard:
    • Select all (Ctrl+A).
    • Copy (Ctrl+C).
    Then Paste (Ctrl+V) the clipboard into a new post (reply) in this thread.

Note #1: Content of the REGQuery1.bat file:
