Spyware, adware, browser hijackers, and dialers are some of the fastest-growing threats on the Internet today.
By simply browsing to a web page, you could find your computer to be the brand-new host of one of these unwanted fiends!

The most important step you can take is to secure your system. And SpywareBlaster is the most powerful protection program available.



Prevent the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, and other potentially unwanted pests.
Block spyware/tracking cookies in Internet Explorer and Mozilla/Firefox.
Restrict the actions of potentially dangerous sites in Internet Explorer.

SpywareBlaster can help keep your system spyware-free and secure, without interfering with the "good side" of the web.

And unlike other programs, SpywareBlaster does not have to remain running in the background.

Spywareblaster is great. I love it to bits.... AND... spybot even says in the 'immunize' section "You have JavaCools SpywareBlaster installed. SpywareBlaster will give you much greater control on ActiveX protection. Click here to run it."

If spybot likes it, I like it.

Also, this week I installed another javacool product. This one is called MRUBlaster. MRU (most recently used) lists appear in many of your programs, though you can't always see them. They sometimes do useful jobs like help you to reopen a recently edited document but other times they're just taking up space. Spyware vendors love MRU lists because they can show what sorts of things you do with your PC. Employers also like MRU lists for the same reason. Do yourself a favour and try MRUBlaster. It will take all those nasty MRU's away. Javacool say it removes over 30,000 MRU lists.

Bump...because it is worth doing!!

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.

Version 3.5.1 improves updating with new Turbo-Update technology, adds various feature and protection enhancements, tweaks, and optimizations.
