Spybot Search and Destroy query

I have 2 pc's both with this on and as far as I can tell they are both identical versions, both been updated by me today.

However one is showing 14525 bad products blocked and the other is 9428. I've just unistalled and installed the one with only 9428 blocked but have got the same result.

Am puzzled as I can't see any difference when I go into the settings. What can I have missed

Don't know - 9428 here.

... unless one has the longer and older Hosts file list, but I doubt that is counted in the total

Where is this number shown?

When you've immunised it.

When you've immunised it.

Ah OK, that's not a feature of S&D that I use.

Oh, any particular reason as it blocks bad products.

I've found this too, abwsco. My daughters have a PC upstairs and my husband and I have another that we use for work and frequently when I update SpyBot I find they have a different number of bad products blocked. I've never taken much notice though - just assumed it was to do with different settings or something.

I did read somewhere (don't ask me where now) that it can cause some problems, so I tend to just use S&D for scanning periodically - not that it ever finds anything.

There are lots of threads about this over at spybot (search for immunize)

I think it is effected by other security products you use and some other settings which block you from making changes to those specific sections
