So i downloaded spybot today and ran it and stupidly deleted the thing that said excite was spyware. Its not in the recovery and I can't even visit the webpage anymore. I have IE7. HELP! I need my email
 
I think that sdhelper is preventing you from going to the excite.com page,and is set to block pages silently.To get to excite.com with Spybot 1.5,in Internet Explorer go to Tools,then Spybot-Search Destroy Configuration,it should open on the Settings page,where it says `When Encountering Bad Things`,in the drop down menu choose `Àsk For Blocking Confirmation`,then okay.After that,when you go to Excite.com,Spybot-S&D Bad URL Blocker should pop up.So,to go on to Excite.com,you`d have to chose what you want Spybot to do from the drop-down menu(Ask me again next time,Remember for this session or Always React This way),and then click Allow.Just be aware where sdhelper is set to ask for blocking confirmation,it may pop-up and ask for your input for other sites,as well.And,please let me know if the above instructions didn`t work for you.

Excite.com is listed as a tracking cookie,and `red`tracking cookies aren`t put into recovery.If you would like Spybot not to delete the excite.com cookie anymore,open Spybot,click mode,then advanced mode,then Settings,then Ignore Cookies,then put a checkmark beside the Excite.com cookie(s)

To get Spybot out of Advanced Mode,you can just click Mode up top,then Default mode.
 
In addition Spybot's immunization blocks cookies from excite.com. If you immunized, go into Internet Explorer > Tools > Internet options. Click the Privacy tab. Then in the Settings section click the Sites button. In the Per Site Privacy Actions window, Scroll down to "excite.com", you will see that it says "Always Block". Click on click "excite.com" then click the remove button. Back out by doing OK > OK.

Click to expand...

Once URL's are added to the 'Allowed & Denied' section, how can they be removed from there?

Thank You.
 
Unfortunately due to a programming oversight the only way to currently edit that information is to manually edit either or both of these files with a program such a Notepad:
  • IEBlack.sbe
  • IEWhite.sbe
Those files are located in one of the following directories:
  • Windows 95/98
    C:\Windows\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Excludes
  • Windows ME
    C:\Windows\All Users\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Excludes
  • Windows NT/2000/XP
    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Excludes
  • Windows Vista:
    C:\ProgramData\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Excludes
The problem has been recognized and has been corrected. See the following tracking ticket on that problem:
