Hello there,

Today my Brother changed my operating system from Win ME to XP. I have now downloaded Spyware blaster again but can't protect Mozilla against threats because it says Mozilla/Firefox cannot be detected. I'm sure I managed before the change to protect Mozilla (could be wrong ofcourse - probably am). Is it because I should have both Mozilla and firefox?? (I have the same as I had with Win ME).

Please help, Lindy

Hello again,

Sorry but I also meant to ask about DSO exploits. I had one on my computer when I had Win ME but now I have between 3 & 5 depending If I'm on the computer as administrator or limited user. I got rid of the one I had before by deleting 1004 from the registry (that numbers back now). Things seemed to run ok when I did this so will it be safe to do again??

Thanks again, Lindy

Hi Lindy,

On SpywareBlaster's main screen it will state if Mozilla/Firefox protection is enabled. If the protection is not enabled due to SpywareBlaster not finding the browser, but you have a copy of Mozilla or Firefox installed, be sure to check the following website to see if you have the latest version of the web browser:

Mozilla - http://www.mozilla.org/

Due to changes in the browser, SpywareBlaster will not detect older versions of Firefox. You should consider upgrading for this reason, and also because older versions of Firefox may have potential security vulnerabilities.

If all else fails there is a support forum at Wilders for SpywareBlaster:

Which program reported the DSO Exploit?

Pieter

Hi Pieter,

Thanks for that. I will look shortly to see what version I have (altho I'm sure it's the latest Mozilla).

The DSO exploits were found when I ran Spybot Search and destroy, (hope this is what you mean).

Thanks again, Lindy

What I expected.

Hello again,

Thanks loads for the information and help given it's really appreciated.

I have Mozilla 1.7.3

The silly thing is, is that when I looked at my Spyware blaster again I could protect Mozilla but yesterday and Friday it was Greyed out so I couldn't use it ......Never mind it's ok now, many thanks.

Did you update SpywareBlaster ?

There has been a update recently.

Yes thanks I have updated it.
Funny thing though, when I've updated it on Admins account and my partners account (With Win XP) it worked fine but on my account I had a problem. It said "There is an error getting information from service, the server may be temporarily unavailable (it wasn't) or there may be a concflict with firewall software installed on PC or update information has been corrupted".
I'm a bit daft when it comes to computers so I'm hoping the computer is protected anyway.

Thanks again, Lindy x
