I am using Spybot 1.3. Where do YOU see an option in the Immunize
settings where you can actually select which *categories* of "bad
addresses" from which to prevent downloads? I only see one checkable
option to enable the bad address scanner so any address associated with
any item in their entire blacklist will get blocked or prompted. I do
NOT want Spybot to do anything regarding cookies (and cookies only).
When you use Spybot to Immunize, it includes the Block Always on those
items in the cookie category. I don't even bother having SpywareBlaster
block cookies. I have a better solution so I don't want Spybot doing
anything regarding cookies.

There might be a way where you deselect all cookies listed in the Cookie
portion of the Ignore settings. But that means on every update of
Spybot that I would have to remember to unselect all the new cookie
domains that got added in the new update. I'd rather not bother with
all this manual updating. You don't get any choices in the Immunize
screen regarding what categories of items to include in the
immunization.
