Pls. answer this..... About Spybot: Search and Destroy...?



               

               2.0.0.6 for Windows,Mac,Linux

Question:Does this thing support Mozilla Firefox? I viewed the cookies in Mozilla and saw things like Mediaplex, Casalemedia, Doubleclick, advertising.com .. i remember when i was using IE, Spybot SD Resident would always alert me, like, This site sez u wnt 2 download Mediaplex, this is a known threat, would u like to block ds download..

But now I'm always browsing with Firefox...

It scanned and said no immediate threats we're found.

Answers:
S&D works fine with Firefox for me.

get ewido it supports them all
Most Virus and Spyware scans are likely to work better in Windows Safe-Mode.

May be that when you installed the software, IE was at the time your Default browser. ??

In XP, I have done this, no popups--
* Start | Run (type) "services.msc" (no quotes)
* Scroll down to "DNS Client", Right-click and select: Properties
* Click the drop-down arrow for "Startup type"
* Select: Manual, click Apply/Ok and restart.
(IF you are the only PC user, and not part of a domain.)
That also eliminates one svchost process in Task Manager.
No one program does it all. Those items you mentioned appear to be advertising malware that are trying to get your info and/or track what you do on the web.

Go to www.download.com and download and install:

AdAware Pro Se

It is FREE and picks up a lot of things that Spybot doesn't. It also has a FREE update function. Great little program and is highly recommended by all.
Go to the following page and download a 15-day trial of CounterSpy
http://www.sunbelt-software.com
That should get rid of the problem.
By the way, it's well worth buying!
