Spyware Blaster — Block Spyware From Installing
Spyware Blaster is an interesting concept. Instead of hunting for spyware installed on your computer, it tries to block common types of spyware from installing. It makes hundreds of common ActiveX spyware programs that can infest Internet Explorer think they are already installed — blocking them from installing. It can also set Internet Explorer and Firefox to block a huge number of ad tracking cookies, making it much less likely that your web site visits can be tracked by Internet advertising companies.
Spyware Blaster is simple to use and is regularly updated to block new threats. It will not replace programs like Adaware or Spybot Search and Destroy, but it will make your computer much safer — especially if you use Internet Explorer as your browser. It best to run Adaware, Spybot Search and Destroy, Spyware Doctor, etc. immediately before running Spyware Blaster — this will remove spyware and tracking cookies already on youe system, then Spyware Blaster will make it harder for the common ones to reinfest your computer.
