After updating your Spybot S&D definitions, if they include new Immunization definitions you need to click on the Immunize button, then, if the status line tells you that additional immunizations are possible, click on the Immunize link, near the top of the program. It has a green + sign in version 1.4. If you don't do this the new immunizations against hostile ActiveX programs will not be applied. Furthermore, if you run with reduced user privileges, such as a Limited User, or Power User, your choice of updates will be more limited that if you apply them from an administrator level account. You would do this by first applying the updates as a Limited or Power User, then Switch Users, or log onto an Administrator account and re-apply the updates and immunizations.

For those of you who have not yet used Spybot Search and Destroy, if you were wondering if it "plays nice" with other anti spyware programs, it most certainly does! I have used Spybot S&D since it's inception, along with various other free and commercial security programs, and it has never caused any problems on my, or my customers' computers.
