Error When Used with Immunize Feature of Spybot Search & Destroy

In case, you are using Immunize feature of the Spybot Search & Destroy on your computer, then your Windows Defender tool may generate the following error:

An Internet Explorer Trusted Site Requires Approval Trusted Site: Web_ Site_name

Cause of the Error

This error occurs because the Immunize feature of the Spybot Search & Destroy program adds certain Web sites to the Microsoft Internet Explorer restricted sites zone.


Now, Windows Defender performs real-time monitoring of the sites in the trusted sites zone and in the restricted sites zone of Internet Explorer. The error is generated because real-time monitoring is unable to differentiate between additions to the restricted sites zone and additions to the trusted sites zone.

Resolution Method

If you want to maintain the Spybot Search & Destroy functionality along with Windows Defender on your computer, then whenever the error message is displayed, you can work around it by selecting the Allow button included in the message box. This Windows Defender message is displayed in the notification area, which is located in the far right corner of the taskbar.
