    There are some issues with SWB and Vista.

    Example here,

    https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=178478

    There are a few other threads here concerning the same issue.

    As Javacool says in the above link, he is working on them for the next version of SWB.

    Well, as said above, it could be a Vista issue so hopefully the upcoming SWB version will have this issue solved.

    Hi,

    What you are likely experiencing is the issue mentioned in the thread snowbound linked to above - i.e. SpywareBlaster sometimes cannot detect Mozilla/Firefox profiles on Vista.

    This problem will be fixed in the upcoming new version of SpywareBlaster. :)

    Best regards,

    -Javacool

    Hi,

    I don't offer estimated release dates, as a rule, because far too many things can cause releases to be delayed (as has been seen with many software makers recently).

    I can say that it is being actively worked on, and that the goal is to have it out soon. :)

    Best regards,

    -Javacool

    I have the same problem in that I FONTdon't find any profile dat file anywhere on my computer. I also did a new full FF install. That did not help, any other suggestions for me.

    Thanks for your assistance.
