SpywareBlaster started out as a malicious software
blocker focused on ActiveX-based attacks. It has
kept that component and expanded, and now can
block all kinds of spyware that gets delivered
through your Web browser, although its defenses
are most useful for Internet Explorer users.
The dedicated IE tools are useful. Users can block
all Flash content, create encrypted backups of the
Hosts file, manage browser page settings, block
cookies, and create customized ActiveX blocks.
Firefox and Netscape-specific protection only
offers cookie blocking, but you can create a
customized blacklist that will function across
multiple browsers. Users can also create a system
snapshot for PC recovery in case of a devastating
attack. The interface is designed well,
uncluttered and easy to navigate. For $10 a year
users can get automatic definition file updates
and tech support, otherwise those must be done
manually.
It's a little surprising that there's no support
for Opera, and there's a noticeable lack of
spyware removal capabilities. Although we
appreciate the good job that SpywareBlaster has
done in the past, this current version doesn't
hold up very well against other security products
that prevent attacks and remove infections.

Publisher'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.
What's new in this version:
Version 4.2 adds Windows 7
support, Internet Explorer 8
support, K-Meleon support, faster
updating worldwide, automatic
program upgrade support (for
AutoUpdate users), and many bug
fixes and tweaks. |
