This is the 3rd spyware related freeware program I have tried (and reviewed) here at Snapfiles. Let me first say that SpywareBlaster is not exactly what I am looking for: I want a program to scan/report/fix and then go away, something I can run manually. I could not find a scan function in this program. It wants to run all the time and protect my (and your) browser proactively. If that is what you want then I would recommend this program based on my limited interaction with it. The user interface is extremely easy to comprehend and you are not overwhelmed by confusing options. Very clean interface. Inspires confidence, makes you feel likes its creators know what they are doing. 21881

While this app is so quiet that many questioned if it's doing anything, well, it does and does it well. Of course you need to understand how it works to understand why you don't see doing anything. Either way, have used this for a looonnggg time now and it's a must have. Extra protection for free, hey, there's nothing to lose with this. I would recommend it to anyone! 19502

.. quietly and effectively in the background. Actually I prefer a manual update-on-*my*-demand, and with the new version 4.0 the 'bogging' on FF "enable protection" is cleared up (if you also use Spybot SearchandDestroy's Immunization for FF, this was an unfortunate side effect when the GUI for SB351 loaded). There's really no need to load the GUI other than to get the update every week or so or unless you like to fiddle with it. Like I said, it just works (without being bothersome). Now in version 4.0 with some great new useful features - Thanks, javacool! 18529

Since using this program (over 4 years now) my system has had noticeably less garbage on it.
Updates are rare and you have to pay for auto updates but this program is still worth the minor work it takes to keep it up to date.
Highly recommend this program. 17210

Essential tool for INNOCULATING a pc against known and constantly changing evil-wares. it is NOT a scanner. one uses a scanner AFTER THE FACT. one uses Spyware Blaster BEFORE THE FACT. it is a PREVENTATIVE, NOT a treatment. it is NOT memory resident and uses NO resources. if you read the authors documentation, it clearly states the intent and purpose of the code. but in a world rife with malware it is no wonder some just don't "get it". malware counts on the idiocy of the ever lazy internet using public to just click click click and never read a damn thing. that's how it gets on your machine in some cases, of course it is stealthed in most of the time, but other times it comes into your rig through the front door. the point? READ and you will know what you are getting. highly recommended. 16438

I've been using this program for over a year now and I really like it. Manual updates are necessary unless you are willing to pay, but you only have to update every couple of weeks or so. I use this in conjunction with Ad-Aware SE; SpywareBlaster keeps most junk off my machine and Ad-Aware takes care of what does slip through. Highly recommended. 15944

V.3.5.1 is installed on my PC and unusally, it is difficult to review because by its very nature it is less interactive than some programs in the same category. The best way I can sum it up is 'No News is Good News' ie. if nothing negative in the way of malware is indicated on your PC then SpywareBlaster is doing its quite exceptional job. The interface I would describe as basic but what does it matter if it isn't being used on a daily basis anyway? I always but always appreciate any individual/company that is prepared to develop quality software and then proceeds to provide it as genuine 'Freeware'. In the Freeware version updates rely on manual input but with the icon emblazoned on my desktop I am hardly likely to forget - No problem! I would not and do not solely rely on this program for protection but view it as part of an umbrella of security. Yes, I recommend this reliable, dependable and quietly reassuring program. Thank you JavaCool! 14775

This is a really fantastic program...it doesn't fix your spyware problems, it stops you from having them in the first place! In short, it focuses on prevention instead of removal by blocking dangerous sites (on both Internet Explorer and Firefox). Another aspect that I consider an advantage is the fact that it does not need to be running in the background to work. Simply open the program once a week, download the latest protection and you're good to go. And it's free! 13274

This does exactly as it says it prevents. It stops problem before they start not after. Try having this program in for a week and then taking it out and see what fun you have browsing the internet!
Just because a program isn't in your face or requires you to click a scan (this is not a scanner try reading the description.) Doesn't mean it isn't working.
As for uploading an updated reference file thats done when you update it duh!(oh gosh I have to update it manually oh woe. *rolls eyes*) 13179

SpywareBlaster is on my system for a long time now, doing nothing but consuming memory. Does it work? I wonder. Is it effective? I have my doubts. After an outbreak of new nasty spyware I expect it will download an updated reference file immediately. It does not. Day after day it keeps telling me that I have the latest update. Not very reassuring in an ugly world that changes continuously.

Strong circumstantial evidence.
I recently found 6 or 8 malware files, most of them ones I'd not encountered before: eg. Hitbox, TribalFusion, Doubleclick, Click2, Valueclick.
A few days later I discovered my SB program I'd had for a week or two had not yet been enabled!
Then I thought back to the many prior months I'd had SB running without having real proof it was protecting me. (I reinstalled SB just lately).
Those mysterious new cookies, etc. I'd just found in a scan were new to me 'cause SB had evidently been "blasting" them all, before that time! They're all found on SB's list.
No one program prevents or even scans and finds all malware all the time. I use SB as part of an arsenal. Don't rely on just one scan! Adaware
misses stuff others find and vice versa. I have 4 (free) scans and 4 is not too many, as it's not uncommon for only 1 out of 4 scans to find something.It can be a different one each time! 9694

Along with Spybot's Immunize feature and a pop-up blocker, this program completes the circle for creating a very powerful shield against today's common adware/spyware type web threats by adding related keys to these locations in the registry:
HKEY_USERS.DEFAULTSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionInternet SettingsZoneMapDomains and (naturally linked) HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionInternet SettingsZoneMapDomains. So the program is only run to open the GUI interface to make the related changes in the Registry, no process need to be running in the background, awesome!

This program has been on my computer several years and as long as I keep updating it it just works. I like because it stays in the background
doing it's job and can shield your browser(s)from
many types of attackers. I have installed it on Xp and Win98 with no problems whatever.
I recommend using it with spybot and AdawareSE
to have the best all round protection and you certainly can't beat the price! 9191

Spyware Blaster should be the first anti-spyware program that you install!
Spyware is a rising threat and this program does something a scanner can't do.It prevents spyware that is listed in their database from installing!
It's extremely easy to use and doesn't run as a resident service.
Install it,update it, and "enable all protection".It has protections for IE and Firefox.
It works,it's free(donations to the developer are accepted),and the developer(javacool)is one of the best!
This program is a key weapon in the battle against spyware! 8665

I use this with WinPatrol and BHODemon and Ad-aware scan gives me a complete bill of health. I have used Spybot13 (good program) but, Ad-aware would detect misses and vice versa. With WinPatrol (Highly recommend) watchdog on the watch, everything has been great and SpywareBlaster stops all the rest. I have disabled other programs to see how effective this program is, and I am impressed. Don't believe the negative until you try it for yourself. This is a great program. 8238

The main feature of this confounding little Blaster Program is.. well...see for yourself . click on tools/internet options/security/restricted sites/sites tab..... as the program updates it ads more sites to the list and particular Java exts. Does anyone remeber typing all those sites in the restricted list...I didnt think so.Same goes for the Active X prtection. Does it really work??? Try disableing all protection
and go surf the wild web and run a scan with Ad aware or Spybot and see what you get....This is a great program ... 8151

If this program one hundred percent protects my pc, then I would not have had my IE hijacked by spywares few weeks back. Also even using with this, the programs Spy-bot, Ad-Aware and Microsoft anti spyware are detecting few spywares regularly. But Spy-bot recommends SpywareBlaster protection as best. So it seems SpywareBlaster should be protecting the PC, but still the possibilites of spyware attacking PC cannot be avoided. Hence, SpywareBlaster, should add a notification/alert window, just like a virus program protects the pc with notifications, so that users will know the better use of SpywareBlaster.

Really, read all the good review about it, and I am the one who is using it as well. I have no idea if my pc is protected??!! It will just block it and I don't get a report from it. It just says, you put it in your pc, you are protected... To me, I don't see any difference. Unlike Ad-aware, spy-bot, you scan, you see the result. This one, practically you don't see any result... Recommend it? sure, just put it there.. but I don't really know how good.... 7544

Yes, spyware scanners like Ad-aware and Spybot S&D are necessary items these days, but THIS one is an absolute must-have, for it "immunizes" your system against most spyware threats. Even Spybot's author recommends using this app for immunization purposes. You just run it once and then you can forget about it. Unlike a regular anti-virus shield, it doesn't need to be run every time you boot up. 7316

This is by far the best freeware program around. I have been using it ever since it first came out. When I do weekly scans with Spybot S&D and Adaware, they almost always come up empty. When I do get something it's usually a tracking cookie. It takes no resources, does its job and is free ($10 for auto-update is well worth it). If you surf the net you absolutely need this. The reason why it may not be on more computers is that a lot of people don't know about it, not because it doesn't work. Highly recommended! 6765

I've used Spyware Blaster for several months. I have thrown as many sites as I possibly can at it, and it's just amazing. Every time I update and run Ad-aware, it usually comes up empty with the exception of Alexis, which I keep running. It also gives you the ability to pick and choose, which is a nice feature. System snapshot, simple but comprehensive interface, easy update, and it's free!
You will not be sorry. 5244

Without SWBlaster, I would get around 8 or 9 spies detected by Adaware. With SWBlaster, I have gone into/out of the game sites 2 times today. Ran Adaware to see what I would find. Not a thing!!! I would have to say that SpywareBlaster Is a damn good piece of freeware.Will write another review in a few weeks to update on any changes, if any. So far, I would have to say EXELLENT!!!! 5118

Remember that this isn't a spyware search and destroy app (try SpyBot Search & Destroy for that), but it has proven to me to be a vary reliable guard against spyware installations both from the web and from things I've installed. I've never had a problem with this product! 5102

I have been searching for a product that does exactly what spyware blaster does.
Although it does not auto update it's just a matter of a click.
After all it is free.
I also have adaware plus. I run that to check
to see what cruddy critter may have gotten
by. All most never.....LOVE THIS product 5077

Spyware Blaster is an excellent tool for keeping bad ware from being installed; if it is properly kept up to date, it will help more than any other tool. Since this blocks the installation of many offenders, you'll still need to sweep your systems for baddies. I use it along with Spybot Search & Destroy - the combination keeps me and my clients fairly free from trouble.
Anyone who is not concerned about having their personal and organization's information snooped has no idea why this type of tool is so valuable, and until they are better informed, they are as dangerous as a go-kart on the freeway to themselves and others. 4989

This is a very simple and effective piece of FREEWARE. It works without any negative system impacts. Disregard the earlier post about "causing problems with downloading"...it does not. That person has other issues. 4979

This software is junk. It causes problems with downloading. Also, I'm still wondering why there is no scanning feature...
It's all about Spybot Search and Destroy. 4968

I am using Spyware Blaster and Spyware Guard by Javacool, as well. I tried out their MRUBlaster for a while, but uninstalled it because I also had another History/temp file cleaner by Ashampoo. In my view, Javacool are quite a superior professional outfit. Over time, you get a feeling as to the reliability and bona fide of such companies. It's because both applications are designed to prevent spyware in general downloading and activating, which appeals to most. They are easy peasy to use too and that's a bonus. 4840

But i'll say it again. Superb utility. Extremely simple and well laid out. Doesn't bamboozle you with techie talk. Shows you what it's doing, and stays in the background minding it's own business (apart from anything trying to get into your PC). It amazes me how straight forward and user friendly is, for such a powerful program. In my opinion,this is the sister utility in the DYNAMIC DUO of "Spywareblaster and Spybot". With both these utilities for free,and updated quite regularly,there is nothing to complain about. They are fine examples of the good people out there who have released such powerful programs for the good of others,without any catch. Well done you guys, and keep up the good work. :) 4606

This app prevents entry of most all items Spybot S&D, AdAware, and others clean out. After using it for just one day, I'll never connect without it. I use Spybot S&D as backup and for its tools, as well as AdAware. Don't leave home without it! 4594

The improved interface of SpywareBlaster 3.1 is great, and the excellent auto-update feature is well worth the paltry registration fee. Basically provides the protection of the "Immunize" feature in SpyBot, but without the frequent problems connecting to a server to download updates. The free version goes on every computer at our school. 4372
