Add SpywareBlaster to Your Arsenal

SpywareBlaster is a great freeware utility to add to your arsenal to combat evilness on the Internet.  SpywareBlaster is a shield against harmful malicious software that can cause problems with your PC.  While nothing is 100% effective … using this light utility and keeping Spybot Search and Destroy's Immunization Database current will protect you very well.

I find the free version very effective.  If you want to purchase a one year license it is only $9.95/year!  This will allow automatic database updates.

    Well i tried this out before you posted about it but when i looked under process explorer, it showed that it wasn't running when i closed the program (when you close it for the first time, it tells you it stays on). So i assumed it wasn't staying on. Therefore i quit using it.

    Actually you're not going to see Spwareblaster running in your processes after you exit because of the way it works.

    It disables a known list of spyware related to Active X controls. It flags items in the registry and an associated spy process will not be able to run on the system. That is why you just need to update the program once a week or so… and it's already done it's job.

    ok, i might go back to it, but i doubt it. Thanks for that clarification.
