Cant see this already reported here, apologies if
I missed it.

The previous SpyBot update falsely reported MediaMotor. This was because popuppers.com appeared in Restricted sites. This was put there by SpyBot, SpywareBlaster, or similar. The latest SpyBot update has fixed this.

If anyone removed this, the best bet is to go to IE/Tools/Internet Options/Security/Restricted Sites
/Sites button.

Add in *.popuppers.com

If it accepts it then fine, if not then it has come back anyway.

You could just restore the backup but would need to ensure it was the Restricted Sites entry it was querying (Kill bit=4 in Domains - W9x registry).

By the way, on the previous version of SpyBot, if you had SpywareBlaster on board and used SpyBots Immunize it said use SpywareBlaster because it is better (or words to that effect).

The current version no longer gives this message and as far as I can tell SpyBot Immunize & SpywareBlaster now do exactly the same thing. Seems that if you have SpyBot and use Immunize, then strictly you no longer need SpywareBlaster.
