I installed Spybot on a few systems and it works great. On one system, I asked it to warn me when a site tried to install spyware, as I wanted to see where the spyware was coming from. Ok now I know, but it all the settings, and I can not find the switch to say, I want to block, without a warning message. I must be overlooking the obvious, but if anyone can tell me hoe to turn this feature on/off I would appreciate it.

Go to "Tools" then "Resident" and I think what you want turned off is Resident SD helper. Just uncheck it

1) Go to "Immunize" screen.

2) In the lower panel, ensure that is says "Browser Helper to block bad downloads is installed;" if not, activate the feature.

3) Immediately below, ensure that "Enable permanent blocking of bad addresses in Internet Explorer" is checked.

4) Immediately below that is a drop-down menu for choosing silent blocking, blocking with notification, blocking with confirmation.
