The Immunize feature is still 3 bricks short!! Oh well, I use AdAware most
of the time anyway.....Spybot takes "eons" to run.

There must be a lot of this going around.
Thank you, Silj.

Harry.

Immunize is still a problem under Win 9x, Figgs, or what, I'm not sure where
you're at these days...
SpyBot should take about ten minutes or so to run a full scan, give or take.

Heather:
When you see those three missing items in "Immunize", just click on the
immunize button above and it will immunize them all. Try it some time.
My update took even less than ten minutes, even though there were three
items. definitions, language and tea timer.
And when I was all done with the scan, it congratulated me for no threats
being present.
How can you beat that?

Harry.

Harry.....after you click the immunize button.....then go back and hit the
one that says "recheck" or some such......the 3 drop off again. It is an
illusion. And I have no problem downloading the defs......I just pick a
country that is asleep at the time I am doing it!!

I would say, based on the couple of times I started to run a scan, it would
take well over an hour to finish. It is incredibly slow!! So I stick with
AdAware. And since I started using Firefox exclusively, I have not had ONE
piece of spyware on this machine....so it gets a little boring, lol.

Cheers.....Heather

Do you disable your AV's auto scan before starting Spybot? If not, try that
and it should run a lot faster.

It doesn't say "recheck", Heather, it says "immunize" with a +sign in front
of it and no illusion either, because after you click it, you have all 2006
items blocked. The illusion must be those three unprotected items, if any.
But enough already, whatever works for you.
Make sure you have those gears greased nicely.

OK Harry......go into Spybot and do the following.....I now have it up in
front of me and I will tell you the *exact* wording.....

It shows 2003 bad products are now blocked......

I click on Immunize and it now says 2006 bad products are blocked.....

Fine....now up to the right of the green cross that is called "Immunize" is
a magnifying glass called "Check Again"......

Hit "Check Again" and you will go back to "2003" bad products are
blocked.....

Capish?? Hence, you are now back to 2003 blocked items...so your 2006 are
merely an illusion, whichever way you want to look at it.

Thanks, amigo......I will try that. I went in and checked the settings, coz
I assumed that version 1.04 would keep the old ones.......nope. So I made
sure that all jpeg, gif, tif and mp3 extensions were on the Ignore List. I
have a ton of mp3's and photos (with no spyware, grin) and that could have
been part of it......but it took 10 minutes to get to 3500 out of some
26,500 items, so turned it off.

Gracias.....Figgs
