bar5 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 I was checking for updates for SpywareBlaster this morning, and noticed that:Restricted Sites.... 1 Item Protection DisabledClick Enable All Protection to correct this. Everything else was OK. Don't know why this happens, as I always make sure to Enable Protection after an update. Just a heads up if you have this program, check it.

Falcon1986 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 I notice the same thing sometimes, but it usually happens after I have updated the Hosts File list from within Spybot Search & Destroy. May be that the two are disagreeing about a particular entry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bar5 Posted February 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Marty:It doesn't happen all the time. Probably after some update of other software. It happen to me once before, but that was a few years ago. I did just install Spybot S&D a few months ago, since AVG discontinued Anti-Spyware 7.5 (Ewido). I really like that program. I was looking for something else to replace AVG besides Malware-bytes. If it does it again, I'll uninstall Spybot. If I remember correctly, I had Spybot than also. Hmmm!I'm going to keep a check on SpywareBlaster and see what happens. Barb Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've never has AVG anti-virus program.So, shouldn't MalwareBytes Anti-Spyware be a good one to replace AVG Anti-Spyware? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 So, shouldn't MalwareBytes Anti-Spyware be a good one to replace AVG Anti-Spyware?Yes. MBAM is an excellent Anti-Spyware application Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darthvader Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 I agree Malwarebytes is tops when it comes to any form of malware.I personally don't even use antivirus software anymore, I just scan with Malwarebytes weekly, however I don't recommend this to anyone else.But yeah, malwarebytes can easily replace a spyware scanner that doesn't have on the clock protection.
