Publisher's Description

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.
 
 
tom's view
 
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:

  1. SpywareBlaster is very easy to use.
  2. 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.
  3. Works with both Microsoft's Internet Explorer or Mozilla's Firefox Internet browser.
  4. 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".
  5. DOES NOT degrade your computer's performance.
  6. It's Free to use and fully functional with no adds nagging you for money. However, if you use this program consider making a donation to Javacool Software the small business that develops and distributes it. Your donation will help ensure future development and keep SpywareBlaster available for FREE.

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.
