for those who use SpyBot's IMMUNIZATION feature ---  which, in my opinion, is the main reason for average* users (XP or earlier) to keep Spybot around nowadays --- be sure to RE-immunize after updating.

(*):  I am also a "fan" of SpyBot's TeaTimer (for XP only).   However, TeaTimer requires that the user respond to its occasional prompts to allow or deny various system changes.   Unless the user feels comfortable/confident doing so, it is preferable that a person NOT use TeaTimer, rather than risk using it haphazardly.

I do *NOT* advocate SpyBot for its scanner --- I believe MBAM and SAS are far superior.

Note:  At present, there are no conflicts between SpyBot's immunization and SpywareBlaster.
