If you're talking about spywareblaster (downloadable from
www.javacoolsoftware.com), than you don't got it right. What
spywareblaster does is create a set of rules that your browser (IE,
Mozilla/Firefox) uses to determine if something will be allowed to
download onto your PC. Since these are rules that your browser uses, it
takes virtually no system resources (i.e. spywareblaster doesn't need to
be running for it's settings to take effect). All you really have to
worry about is keeping up to date. If you have the free version, then
just check it about once a week. If you pay for it, then it comes with
an automatic updater that you can schedule.

Regards,

Will

Yes, the spywareblaster from javacoolsoftware.

Right, feeling really idiotic at the moment Wink Have it for a few month now,
but i had this silly notion it wasn't doing it's job right, so i checked the
help file were it says under "enabling protection"

1.) Open SpywareBlaster
2.) Click on the "Enable All Protection" link under Quick Tasks on the main
screen.
3.) Exit the program - you're done!

SpywareBlaster does not need to remain open for its protection to be active!

The last sentence kind of made be believe it could be that it had to be
opened every time, meaning loaded. Perhpas as i'm not native english speaker
it didn't seem quite clear. And the fact i don't know jack about how
software really works didn't help either, obviuosly.

Thanks for clarifying that

Well, if you have any doubts, you could try accessing Excite e-mail, as
Spywareblaster blocks a tracking cookie necessary for you to use that
Excite feature. I know this because my roommate had to borrow my PC
once (he uses Excite) and Ihad to temporarily set SpywareBlaster to
allow the Excite trackingcookie.

Ya, that is what I was saying. I was simply giving the OP a way to test
the product if he/she so desires.
