Spyware Blaster

Well I finally decided to download and try this, configured it for Firefox and went to a site where there is known spyware. I always have to run Spybot S&D after visiting this site, I ran it and the scan came up clean, so SB did it's job, I'm impressed. I'll keep it around and recommend it to other people, a definate must have.

IT's just another case of "Spybot doesn't catch everything." If I were you (I dont know if you are doing this or not) but I would continue using Spybot along with Adaware and any other program that you can get your hands on in conjunction with each other because no one program can nab everything.

Oh yea, I won't stop using Spybot or Ad-aware. I also just recently started using a-squared.

In fact, when you use Spybot S&D to innoculate your system, the program will recommend and provide a link to Spyware Blaster if you don't already have it installed.

How's that for an endorsement?

I have been using Spyware Blaster for months. It is a great application, and it does work quite well. The most I have found on my personal system is a few tracking cookies since installing Spyware Blaster. Just remember to regularly check for updates.
