spybot disables spyware blaster

[Guest richard]

Latest spybot update disables spyware blaster from enabling protection.

Temp fix is to undo protection for fire fox in spybot. Until spybot

corrects the problem, this apparently is the only fix, according to Java

Cool.

Re: spybot disables spyware blaster

 

richard:

 

I don't seem to have the luxury of undoing the protection for FF.

When trying to update the firefox protection, I get an access violation

error message at 0x0046FAFC (tried to read from 0x0342E930) and the program

terminated. That leaves me without a chance to fix anything and probably

will have to uninstall the program and relplace it with something of equal

value.

Any other ideas?

 

Harry.

Harry......what in hell are you drinking?? Richard said to DISABLE the

protection for FF in Spybot......NOT update it!!

 

Go back into Spybot and DISABLE the protection for Firefox......until a

fix is out. What part of that did you not understand?? It was

perfectly clear. And for that matter, you can run your computer for a

couple of days without SpywareBlaster, ya know.

 

Damn......but you can screw up the simplest instructions.....no wonder

you have so many problems with WinME!!!

Re: spybot disables spyware blaster

 

Here is the quote from JavaCool:

 

"This problem is being caused by Spybot S & D writing invalid entries to

the Firefox hostperm.1 file.

 

Specifically, Spybot is writing entries using unicode characters, such as:

"meine-Grußkarten.de"

 

This is invalid. According to the specification, these International

Domain Names should be properly encoded as punycode before being written

to the file. In the case of the domain listed above, it should be

written to the file as:

"meine-grusskarten.de"

 

Note that Firefox appears to pass some characters through an additional

normalization/conversion process before writing them to the file (or

using them in the browser itself), as is the case with "ß"."

Re: spybot disables spyware blaster

 

If you have protection checked for FireFox, then you probably will have

the problem. Since you don't use that browser, I assume you have it

unchecked, and thus no difficulty.

Re: spybot disables spyware blaster

 

Thanks for the explanation.....not that many will know that the "funny

looking B" is really a double SS....grin. Hey, genealogists know a lot

about that sort of stuff, especially when my maiden name has a double S.

 

Pssst......tell Harry just to uncheck FF......he needs to be led by the

hand. OK? (G)

 

Cheers, Figgs

Re: spybot disables spyware blaster

 

Figglesia:

 

Thinking doesn't come into play here, everything happening is automatic,

(remember?) upon opening the program, since firefox protection was enabled.

What I'm experiencing is probably the result of richard's explanation.

I'll probably have to wait it out, which is 'no problemo'.

Good thing richard brought this to our attention.

Tell him that I thank him for that, please?

 

Harry.
