Nothing comes to mind
Summary
Very good program to compliment existing security software.

"Appears to do the job"
Version: SpywareBlaster 4.6
Pros
Easy to use & update when I remember
Cons
I am never sure if it is running and if it is running, is it an application, a process or what. I can never find any evidence it is there ... so is it actually a good spoof !

"I Think it's the Best"
Version: SpywareBlaster 4.6
Pros
I installed Blaster several years ago, and when I use my spyware scanner the amount of spyware in a month was reduced from 10 - 30 to less than five. That still holds today.
Cons
It doesn't scan.
Summary
Spywareblaster has been the single best protection for me over the last 10 years.

"Set it and forget it"
Version: SpywareBlaster 4.6

Very easy to understand for those who do not want to lose time to find out the complexity of softwares.

It's already 5 years that use this software and I never had a single problem; it's even workin on my first laptop running Win.ME.
Summary
Easy to use, very friendly interface, low memory usage.
I also recommend this software to the users who look for the peace of mind. -

"Good Additional Layer Of Protection"
Version: SpywareBlaster 4.6
Pros
Attractive interface and easy set-up. Primarily a "blocking program" (as opposed to a "cleaner") so user interaction can be a simple set-and-forget, except for the occasional updates, with room for advanced-user tweaking.
Cons
Too bad it doesn't support Opera, which could benefit from a program of this type.
Summary
I've used Spyware Blaster on and off for a couple of years now and it seems to be effective. I uninstalled it for a time when I wasn't using IE at all, but since updating from IE8 to IE9 I find myself using Internet Explorer a bit more often. (although it has Active-X blocking built in.) If you're using IE8 or lower, this would be a good program to have, and - like they say- you can't have too many anti-spyware programs.

"Great Preventive Maintenance"
Version: SpywareBlaster 4.6
Pros
Installed it a couple years ago and update it weekly. Have never experienced a malware nightmare on my three computers. It's not the answer-all, but a steady diet of updates along with your scanware should keep your system clean in the first place.
Cons
None for this free version
-
"Seems fine"
Version: SpywareBlaster 4.6
Pros
Seems to prevent malware
Cons
No reports on malware prevented
