Best bet is to not use the immunize feature in SpyBot and download SpywareBlaster instead.

If you have SpywareBlaster on board then go to use SpyBot's immunize feature it tells you it is better to use SpywareBlaster.

Apparently everyone that has only gator.com and lop.com as the managed sites listed under IE's privacy settings needs to apply the fixme reg hack.

However after applying the reg fix, DO NOT! immunize Spybot S&D even though you are advised to do that to block the 6 extra bad products in addition to the 2355 already blocked by Spybot.

Doing the immunisation remove everything but gator.com and lop.com.

B4 you criticize a bigger man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, you're a mile away, and you have his shoes.

While I havent read completely yet the link above I did run across an instance with the travelcity site. A friend uses that website and called me to ask me to take a look at his computer to find out why suddenly he was unable to pull up the website and after some searching I found out what that site is talking about. Travelcity or whatever it is called, cant remember now was added as a block list from spybot.

Run the Spybot Immunize feature and click the green "+" to immunize. Run the .reg file. If you go back to the Immunize feature, you will see "xxxx bad product already blocked. x additional protections possible". Do not click the "+" immunize button again or you will be back to square one. All this should be done with all IE browser windows closed
