SpywareBlaster doesn't scan for and clean spyware--it prevents it from being installed in
the first place. SpywareBlaster prevents the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware,
dialers, browser hijackers, and other potentially unwanted programs. It can also block
spyware/tracking cookies in IE and Mozilla/Firefox, and restrict the actions of
spyware/ad/tracking sites.

With the built-in Check for Updates feature, you can help ensure your protection
is up-to-date. SpywareBlaster also includes a System Snapshot feature, which lets
you take a snapshot of your computer in its clean state and later revert, undoing
many changes made by spyware and browser hijackers.

There is a lot of terminology and lingo used within the computer industry. What
exactly is "spyware" ? What does it do? McAfee the well known antivirus and security
solutions company defines spyware as "Software whose function includes transmitting
personal information to a third party without the user's knowledge or consent...".
SpywareBlaster is designed to help prevent spyware from installing on your
computer. It is not designed to scan for and clean spyware from your
computer. SpywareBlaster adds an extra layer of protection to your security, safety
and privacy if you use the Internet. I suggest you first install and run a FREE
spyware scanning and removal tool like Ad-Aware SE or
Spybot Search. Once you know your computer is free of
any spyware then install SpywareBlaster to help keep your system clean.
I discuss some aspects of SpywareBlaster in my article "Secure
Internet Explorer" A few of SpywareBlaster's useful features include:
- SpywareBlaster is very easy to use.
-
Can be easily updated with a click of a button to keep you protected from the
latest threats. You can pay a small fee to have automatic updates delivered directly
to your computer.
-
Works with both Microsoft's Internet Explorer or Mozilla's
Firefox Internet browser.
-
Adds a list (restricted sites list) of Web sites to Internet Explorer that are
known to be malicious or dangerous. Improves your computers security settings if
you accidentally visit or are lured (e-mail link) to one of these sites. I discuss
what a "restricted sites list" is and how it can improve your computer security
in my article "Secure Internet Explorer".
- DOES NOT degrade your computer's performance.
-
It's Free to use and fully functional with no adds nagging you for money.

Warning: All the software I suggest is popular and well tested. However,
any time you add a program/application or hardware device to your computer you run the
risk of a problem developing with your computer. Always back up important files on your
computer before installing any new program/application or device. You download
and install any new software at your risk.
