I am thinking of installing it however I wonder
if there is anything I should be aware of.
Thanks in advance

I personally don't use it,
but have not heard anything bad about it...

will prevent installation or prevent the malware from running if it is

fixit-links for a variety of parasites. It also has some additional useful
ancillary functions.

Updates are easy. It should be used in conjunction with AdAware
and/or Spybot S&D, both of which are also high quality freeware.

Works using the Registry. Absolutely zero problems with it.

My only problem with it is remembering to check for updates
periodically. Go for it.

Since I use Spybot S&D, and am able to remember to check for Spybot
updates by seeing the icon on my desktop, I use the link to the
spywareblaster.exe provided in Spybot's Immunize module to check for
updates at the same time.

I agree. The easiest way to remember all the updates is to do them all
at once on a periodic schedule. I try to look for update at least once
a week, usually on Fridays.
By the way Mister Charlie, just curious: why did you put the quote
below your signature line? That makes it really hard for people to reply.

Sorry, I've since eliminated the sig. It's the old OE bugaboo and I
keep forgetting to move it down...
I used to use OEFixit but I must be the only person in the world whose
computer repeatedly crashed because of it. Since I don't really NEED
sig files or colored lines I just dumped it.
Anyway, thanks for the heads up.

I use the Quick Launch Toolbar for shortcuts to all the programs I need
to update over the net. Very handy IMO. You can collapse it down to any
size you want and not lose space on the Taskbar, then popup a list of
programs with one click.

Highly recommended, as it prevents spyware from being installed. The is a
"Check for updates" option which either downloads additional threats or
informs about updated versions.

On my XP machine, using SpywareBlaster version 2.6.0, it added 5 new keys,
and altered 5 others. There is a recent update which I have not yet
installed but I do not expect it to add hundreds of keys. What version are
you using?

Corliss the hypocrite has a 127- character long line in his broken sig.
Oh, and it's a lie, too.

But the check only occurs once. Remember to periodically invoke the
application and then check updates. Several people had suggestions
for remembering. One of these days I'll automate it for myself. (I
hope before cobblers' children have new shoes.) One useful feature is
to show only the new threats. Very nice.
Watch out, however, that you don't disable something that you need at
a particular site you use -- advice applicable to several anti-ware
apls.

No. There was no line in his post longer than 72 characters. If your
reader is removing CR/LFs from posts you view, check your settings.

Hmm. Somehow I managed to attribute a Mabbett quote to Corliss.
<sigh> Attribution for the quote claiming a long line in Corliss'
post should have been as follows.

What rubbish? You erroneously claimed that there was a 127-line
character in John's post <news:vnrhofb...@corp.supernews.com>.
Here's Google Groups' copy of it:

(Feel free to point out, correctly this time, that there is a long
line in my post.

In that case, I can't account for your error. You're on your own.
EOD for me. Thanks for playing.

There was no error in my claim.
Why else do you think Corliss has now fixed the error in his sig? (The
technical error, that is - the factual error persists.)

Bwahahaha!
You think they don't apply any error correction?

Indeed not; because there was none.

I'm not surprised that you can't sustain your arguments.
Nor am I surprised that you make such foolish comments, given that you
post 8-bitcjarcewters in every post you make, to this 7-bit medium.

My post was based on InCtrl5 installation log -- I've looked at the keys you
mention, which I was unaware had been added by SB, and have to agree that
there are a lot of them. But as you said earlier, "if you don't care it's
OK". I consider SpywareBlaster to be well worth the addition of these keys.
The XP registry is so bloated it can easily stand a few hundred extra keys.
