SpywareBlaster
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.
New version improves updating with new Turbo-Update technology,
adds various feature and protection enhancements, tweaks, and
optimizations.
Despite the multiple tabs and variety of options, this utility
maintains focus on its sole task: keeping ActiveX-based spyware
from hijacking Internet Explorer and Mozilla. Wrapped in a
no-frills yet good-looking tabbed interface, SpywareBlaster is
easy to both navigate and operate. Additional features include the
ability to disable Flash animations, create a block list of
troublesome DLLs, take a snapshot of your system, and add
customized ActiveX blockers for files not included in the
program's database. Like most adware-removal programs, it lets you
download the latest malware updates. We would have liked support
for other popular browsers, such as Opera, and the program offers
little help for PCs already infected with adware. Still,
SpywareBlaster proves a helpful preventative addition to any
antiadware arsenal.
