12 Active X items of protection are disabled

Hi,
I have been experiencing something I want to question. Since the last version of SpywareBlaster and into the 4.0 version, the same 12 items of protection become disabled. That is to say, I will reopen the program to check for updates and find that it says that 12 items of Internet Explorer have been disabled. I will then check for updates and enable all protection. When I return a few days later, those 12 items have been unchecked again.

*Edit to add two more unprotected items:
Smartshopper (A798E.....)
Smartshopper (2178C.....)
Can you tell me what to do next. I have run several on line virus scanners and my Hijackthis looks normal.

*EDIT: I ran the Spybot S&D update program and then ran the locate problems part of that program. There were no problems, but when I came back to SpywareBlaster there were 14 IE items unprotected. I think there is a conflict between the two programs.

 

Hello,

Concerning the 12 unprotected items, are u running Spyware Doctor?

If so, have a look here,

Hi,

Yes I do have Spyware Doctor installed on my machine. It is a recent install and may coincide with the time I started having trouble with SpywareBlaster. I will disable it and report back on this to you.

Thanks for the link to a most interesting thread.

 

You're welcome.

If u are interested, here's a more recent thread with the same issue,

Spyware Doctor is the culprit. I will leave it turned off until the issue is resolved. The recent protection update to Spyware Doctor must have added the two new unprotected active x items that I attributed to Spybot S&D. That more recent thread is very engrossing. I cant wait to see the next post from PC tools.

 

Hi,
I am following this matter closely on the Spyware Doctor Forum

http://www.pctools.com/forum/showthread.php?t=50730

where I have brought it to their attention. There are now 14 items not protected!
They say it is being investigated.

Thanks for your input. I am following your thread and look forward to a favorable conclusion; IE, where I can run both programs without conflict.

 

Hi,
According to the maker this has now been resolved in the latest version of Spyware Doctor 5.5.0.212. There should be no more unprotected items.

I can confirm this since 12th of March.

Thanks for the heads up. I will download latest version and re enable the program.
