First apologies to LWM and JC, I tried to post late last nite but, I kept getting disconnected(myISP).
Well, now I am confused! Here is what I have written down, I told some family members to use SG and SB, because they are easy to use even if you are new to computers.
I d/l'd SB and SG, because I had to replace my harddrive, that was July 26, from a site that I only wrote down as calling itself the "slowest download on the net". All the time before I would only click on enable all protection on the first page, since all the unchecked boxes I saw were on the Restricted page, I am not sure I did what Mike and Bubba did?
Some boxes in the restricted list WERE checked up until acculoader.com,the addictive, ads,tucows, advnt01, then boxes were checked up until CWS382, the next ones unchecked and in red were CWS1207-1291(that many?!), then a couple of dealhelpers, doubleclicks(3), and well, I actually have the list wrote down, if it would be helpful.
So, after reading all the posts, am not sure why we had those sites unchecked, especially since it seems ALL of them would have been unchecked - not hit and miss (CWS' excluded).
We are using one 98 IE5 and the rest are XPI IE6 home. We uninstalled the first one and went to Wilders' and d/l'd a second one, or maybe that could have helped. I can check to see if everyone trashed it or not.
As far as SG, we can't get it to open after installing, I thought I saw some threads about that.
Why does Spybot check new.net, mysearch and sidestep to be ignored?
Like I said I am more confused now, but, maybe someone can see what went on? Scared me into using Mozilla, so it's not all bad, and I'm still happy with Javacool's progs otherwise.
