SYMPTOMS
You may receive the following message from Microsoft Windows Defender if you also use the Immunize feature in Spybot Search & Destroy:

An Internet Explorer Trusted Site Requires Approval Trusted Site:



CAUSE
The Immunize feature in Spybot Search & Destroy adds certain Web sites to the restricted sites zone in Microsoft Internet Explorer.

This problem is caused by an issue in Windows Defender that involves real-time monitoring of the sites in the trusted sites zone and in the restricted sites zone. The real-time monitoring does not distinguish between additions to the restricted sites zone and additions to the trusted sites zone.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, click Allow in the Windows Defender message. The Windows Defender message appears in the notification area at the far right of the taskbar. Clicking Allow lets you maintain the Spybot Search & Destroy functionality.
