Those ALL are false positives and it is a temporary bug in this new version of AdwCleaner. This was first reported to them on Wednesday morning.

What it is doing is detecting many Restricted Sites from Spywareblaster. It is finding exactly the same sites on computers of people using SpywareBlaster and also on computers that use SpyBot S & D Immunize. They KNOW about this and are working to fix it.

Read this information from the post by exile360, an Expert on the MBA-M forum in this thread:

Version 7.2.2.0 detecting many Restricted Sites from Spywareblaster

EDIT:

Follow the instructions he gives about adding these to the Exclusion List, DO NOT have AdwCleaner clean because if you do it will remove the Protection for those 42 restricted sites on your SpywareBlaster.

Follow the instructions he gives, DO NOT have AdwCleaner clean because if you do it will remove the Protection for those 42 restricted sites on your SpywareBlaster.

Thanks for the reply Judy.

I had the same problem this morning on the computer which I use in our Club office.

Unfortunately I did have AdwCleaner clean that computer.

Will updating Spyware Blaster put things back to normal?

Those ALL are false positives and it is a temporary bug in this new version of AdwCleaner. This was first reported to them on Wednesday morning.

What it is doing is detecting many Restricted Sites from Spywareblaster. It is finding exactly the same sites on computers of people using SpywareBlaster and also on computers that use SpyBot S & D Immunize. They KNOW about this and are working to fix it.

Read this information from the post by exile360, an Expert on the MBA-M forum in this thread:

All you have to do is open SpywareBlaster and click Enable all Protection and those will be set back in Restricted sites. DO run AdwCleaner again and add those to the Exclusion List and all will be back to normal.

This HAS happened before in the past and it will be fixed. AdwCleaner is still a super program.

Run AdwCleaner and when it shows you the 42 items in question then Right Click on each and choose Add to Exclusions List.

Each will disappear from the list as it is chosen. Once all are gone, CLOSE the program

You're welcome of course. Now it is likely in short order MBA-M will pull those definitions from their database and then they will not be a problem. These Restricted Sites are for Internet Explorer and do not apply to the other more modern browsers like Firefox or Chrome mainly because they are much safer than IE. But of course you should ALWAYS enable those restricted sites because you never know when some sort of problem with the others might force you to use IE for a short period of time.
