Publisher's description of SpywareGuard
From Javacool Software:SpywareGuard provides a real-time protection solution against spyware that is a great addition to SpywareBlaster's protection method. An anti-virus program scans files before you open them and prevents execution if a virus is detected - SpywareGuard does the same thing, but for spyware! And you can easily have an anti-virus program running alongside SpywareGuard. SpywareGuard now also features Download Protection and Browser Hijacking Protection. Features Listing: Fast Real-Time Scanning engine - catch and block spyware before it is executed (EXE and CAB files supported) with signature-based scanning for known spyware and heuristic/generic detection capabilities to catch new/mutated spyware.

Version: SpywareGuard 2.2
Pros: I've said it before...2-strikes and you're outta here... good for hijack prevention but small library of what to protect you from...
Cons: icon keep disappearing and would not come out from start menu...tried to uninstall and try again but couldn't shut off to be able to uninstall...had to remove from start-up list & re-boot til icon reappeared on task-bar, then exit it and remove.... after uninstall... CCleaner to the rescue + manually remove the rest...same results on 2nd attempt (convinced me to remove other javacoool product)
