    Before posting HijackThis log on BFC COMPUTER HELP as advised, I have a long list of task to carry out and I got stuck on this one which sounds very simply but I can't find it anywhere!!

    Under task for SpyBot S&D I need to:
    De-select protection for Opera Browser Immunity (if Opera browser is installed).

    Thank you.

    I think they mean under immunize, untick the box under permanent Opera immunity.

    Where is that?
    I have clicked on IMMUNIZE and I can see anything about OPERA BROWSER!
    OK maybe I should find out if I have OPERA BROWSER - Don't know how!
    I did a search on my C: and a few files came up about Opera including in SpyBot which is why I am presuming I have it.

    Thank you if you could be more specific.

    Control Panel- Add-Remove Programs- see here if Opera is installed. If it isn't, you don't need to do anything, i think.
    Once you sort this thing out (HijackThis...), really install Opera, or Firefox. Dump IE:thumb:

    Of course, i should say this, by dump i mean don't use it, not uninstall. Only use IE when it's the only choice, like MS updates. You'll need IE for this.

    OK got you! A few more questions if I may.

    I do not have Opera install under add and remove programs so why is it when I do a search on the C: drive OPERAPLUGINS comes up in the following:

    C:\PROGRAM FILES\SPYBOT\INCLUDES... Spyware supplemental files)?
    And also in C:\I386\IIS6 (HTML Documen)?

    I do have Firefox install on my laptops as well as IE7. Once all this is sorted out I will stop using IE7 and start using Firefox regularly.

    Thanks! :)

    I can only guess here. Opera shows on the SSD folder because there's a protection function available for Opera in Spybot.
    The C:\I386 folder is related to Windows OEM i think. It contains Windows files for repair, rebuilding the OS,... I'm over my head here:p You can find that same folder in your Windows CD.

    Suffice to say that, given the instructions on the site, you don't have Opera installed, so no problem.:thumb:

    Another thing: i don't know that forum. Maybe someone alse can fill in the gaps and say if BFC COMPUTER HELP is ok. Probably is, but since i don't know that one, i have to say this. Also, i'm no expert here.
    Cheers
