JeanInMontana Posted May 16, 2008 ID:18285 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Hi and welcome to Malwarebytes. The most glaring thing I see is your running SP1, get Windows updates ASAP. Current Service Pack is 3. Without those updates no amount of immunization is going to do much.Second, Spybot is a rogue application if that's actually what your using. If your using Spybot Search and Destroy, that is a good program, however it has no effect on how RogueRemover works. My guess you are infected and the infection is stopping RR from immunizing. I seriously recommend you follow the instructions here http://www.malwarebytes.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=2936 before installing the latest service pack in updates.Infections and SP2 didn't mix at all and this latest Service Pack has it rolled in with other newer fixes.

Spybot search and destroy it should have been I dropped the S&D. The tweak made the locked hosts file read only. Since I did that in Spybot S&D the immunize feature in RogueRemover Pro hasn't missed a beat. Regards from Down Under Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeanInMontana Posted May 17, 2008 ID:18358 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Ok it makes sense now. Having the hosts file locked most likely would affect RR immunize. Glad you got it sorted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
