Your question may be academic in view of the fact that future reference
file updates will only be compatible with build 181 and later builds. See
the important note at the end of this link:

If you are going to use an IE shell such as MyIE, SlimBrowser, Avant etc.,
and if you don't want to pay for Ad-aware Plus, then you could use
SpywareBlaster, IE-Spyad or SpywareGuard instead. Links are:
