Scan & Fix 50 registry issues FREEPublisher's Description
From Javacool Software:
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, Mozilla Firefox, Netscape, and many other browsers, 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.
Version 4.0 includes full Vista support, protection for many additional web browsers (including Netscape, Seamonkey, and Flock), and adds various feature and protection enhancements, tweaks, and optimizations.
What's new in this version: Version 4.0 includes full Vista support, protection for many additional web browsers (including Netscape, Seamonkey, and Flock), and adds various feature and protection enhancements, tweaks, and optimizations.

"Great as long as you're not expecting something fancy"
Version: SpywareBlaster 4
Pros
This program does what it's supposed to do - block spyware, and it doesn't slow down your system at all to do so. I like the basic interface, it's a shame that more people don't believe in keeping interfaces simple and clutter-free. The interface in this version is more aesthetically pleasing than in the old version, but it still keeps things simple. This program is incredibly non-intrusive overall.
Cons
Applying protection updates can be slow, although it rarely takes more than a minute or so once you've used the program a few times.

"Has been protecting my computer for years!"
Version: SpywareBlaster 4
Pros
SpywareBlaster by JavaCool has been incredibly trouble-free and very EASY to use! It works EXTREMELY well with Spybot-Search & Destroy (by Safer Networking Lmtd), which provides the most up-to-date "HOSTS file" for Internet Explorer to keep you from ever ending up at the current most dangerous websites / portals.
I have used many pieces of "free" & some quite costly spyware removal / detection software over the years, but several of them damaged the Windows registry irrepairably, others didn't do what they claimed! SpywareBlaster does keep most trash from ever getting on your PC...it won't fix all your problems...for those you'll want a good firewall, antivirus and anti-malware protection such as ZoneAlarm Security Suite.
Cons
It isn't totally free...but the only feature this affects is AUTOMATIC Updates...and honestly, it isn't necessary. It takes one more mouse-click to manually update the software, which is a no-brainer if you wish to use the software for free!

"It works for me."
Version: SpywareBlaster 4
Pros
When I check it there is a list of things that it has stopped or blocked. It works behind the scenes and I have had no slowdowns or trouble with it.
-
"I am having a problem with this software"
Version: SpywareBlaster 4
Pros
It works great but-------------
Cons
when I click on the update data base-nothing happens and I just get a blank page on Spywareblaster doing nothing. Does anyone have any ideas?
I downloaded this 20.03.08 The last download for data base was 26.03.08.

"Can not remove all of software once installed!!! Beware !!!!"
Version: SpywareBlaster 4
Pros
It did get rid of some malware that Awil Avast could not nor could Ad-Aware nor ZoneAlarm Professional.
Cons
After removing software and all related files, on re-boot a blue screen would pop up and say this software is scanning. Scanning what?? So there must be some hidden files somewhere, but I could never find it / them. I had to finally reformat my computer completely. This takes about 8 hours just because of a nagging blue screen on re-boot!!! Also ZoneAlarm found a virus coming from the auto update folder on my system as well, as stated in a prior post.
'
BE WARNED!!! STAY AWAY FROM THIS SOFTWARE!!!
If there was a way to remove all the software and including all hidden files, and didn't down spyware, it would be a great piece of software. And if you find a way to remove everything pertaininng to this software, please post it!!! Under Negative reviews, and maybe, just maybe, C/Net Download , COM will put the removal steps in there weekly news letter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I gave it a 1 because you can not go any lower!!!!!!

"Seems ok"
Version: SpywareBlaster 4
Pros
it has quite a big list especially for internet explorer.
Its not in the system background and so doesnt use up any system memory...Something i find a bit strange considering it is supposed to block bad sites.
Cons
Updates dont seem to happen much-havent really seen the software do anything so its hard to comment.
