FYI (from C|Net)

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.
