Spybot hasn't detected anything on my comptuer for the past 3 weeks? Is it working? It usually detects 5 or 6 each day, but lately nothing. It runs for a couple of minutes and doesnt show one single thing. Also, my pop up stopper is doing something weird. When I want to open a window that I want to see and click the control button, it opens a new internet window. Any help or suggestions is appreciated. Thanks

I did immunize my computer. Is that a good thing? Is it just doing a fine job of blocking or did I change a setting because usually theres 4-5 things it picks up a day and for the past 3 weeks nothing. Thanks

Spybot is more for finding and deleting instances of spyware.
Although it does immunise and protect against some Active X scripts, you really need specialised and separate programs for complete protection.
Download both Spyware Guard and Spyware Blaster, both freeware, from JAVACOOL (http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/index.html).
