SpywareBlaster Definitions Update 5/9/06
Spywareblaster is not like most anti-spyware programs, in that it does not "run" as such, as an active process in memory. It is more like a preventative shot that innoculates your computer against certain common avenues of attack, mostly ActiveX threats.
1: Prevent the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, and other potentially unwanted software.
2: Block spyware/tracking cookies in Internet Explorer and Mozilla/Firefox.
3: Restrict the actions of potentially unwanted sites in Internet Explorer.
SpywareBlaster is freeware for personal and educational use.

The most important key to maintaining a secure computer is keeping your protection up-to-date.
SpywareBlaster offers two updating options:
1.) AutoUpdate - keep your protection up-to-date automatically!
2.) Check for Updates - manually check for and download the latest updates
The built-in Check for Updates function is completely free.
To access Check for Updates, simply click on the "Updates" tab on the left side of the SpywareBlaster interface, and then press the "Check for Updates" button.
If you would like the convenience of the AutoUpdate feature, more information can be found in SpywareBlaster itself.
(Click on the "Updates" tab, and then the "AutoUpdate" tab.)
A SpywareBlaster AutoUpdate subscription is $9.95 (US) per computer, per year, and is good on the computer from which it is purchased.
Subscriptions do not automatically renew - you will be prompted to purchase a new subscription when your current subscription expires.
