SpywareBlaster®

I never heard of this program... opinions? Compatibility with various security programs, AVG, Malwarebytes, COMODO Firewall? I'm willing to give a go at this one.

It's been around for a long time. *Not to be confused with Spybot.

It's just a list of block zones it adds in the registry, that don't allow certain malicious sites, programs from being accessed in IE/FF.

It's not a running program (doesn't "run" or "scan"), so it doesn't interfere with any other anti-malware program.

Something you can add real quick for some extra protection. Set it/forget it kind of thing. Manually check for updates every couple weeks.

There's more about it's explanation on their website.

Free version doesn't really "run" as I mentioned above. There's no process of it running at all. Just sets zone rules and that's it.

Unless you pay for auto updates.

Just a small clarification. Don't want anyone to get confused is all. No offense intended, Ma'am.

Minor misnomer.
