SpywareBlaster doesn't scan and clean for spyware - it prevents it from ever being installed. By setting a "kill bit" for spyware ActiveX controls, it can prevent the installation of any spyware ActiveX controls from a webpage. It does this while not interfering with "friendly" ActiveX controls - so your browser can work correctly and you can have peace of mind.

You won't get any more annoying "Yes/No" boxes popped up, asking you to install a spyware ActiveX control. In fact, Internet Explorer will never even download or run the spyware ActiveX control. In addition, it can prevent many of these spyware ActiveX controls from running, even if they are already installed on your system.

    I have used this for a long time but since I use Chrome and Opera almost exclusively I don't think it is helping much. Maybe for the rare times I need to open a site in IE (and then I use Maxthon).

    I was hoping they might have included Chrome, & Safari. As I use neither IE8 or Fireflop I don't suppose it's worth having on any-more. A good program for those users though.

    SpywareBlaster, together with Spybot S&D, two faithful companions ever since my very first days on the Web.
    BTW, version 4.3 is available as of today.

    Not really needed for FireFox
    If you use IE you deserve your viruses and spyware

    I've been using SpywareBlaster together with SpyBot S&D ever since it first came out. Never had a single problem with it, and unlike some antispyware it doesn't seem to cause any problems or slow Internet Explorer down.
