I updated my spybot to ver1.4

In the imminize section I can not check off the option to enable permanent blocking of bad addresses in internet explorer. Just above is says "Browser help to block bad downloads is NOT installed.

Ok fine, but I can figure out how to install this or enable it? Has anyone had this problem?

1. Uninstall and reinstall Spybot S&D.

2. You might already have spyware that prevent the configuration. Run Spybot first, then Ad-Aware SE Personal, MS Antispyware, Spyware Sweeper, Spyware Doctor, CWShredder, and Hijack this.

1. Make sure all MS Windows critical updates were installed.
2. Run antivirus program.
3. Reinstall Spybot again. During setup, make sure to check on Use Internet Explorer protection and Use system settings protection.

Before reinstalling Spybot, open it.

Mode > Advanced Mode > Tools > Resident > check on Resident ?SDHelper? (Internet Explorer bad download blocker) active.

I have already done just about all that, the system is clean, and the problem came on when I did try and re-install spybot.
(ran mutliple antispywares, hijack, cwshredder, and a few other utils ) all clean
