From the creators of Spyware Blaster comes Spyware Guard:
Features Listing:
o Fast Real-Time Scanning engine - catch and block spyware before it is
executed (EXE and CAB files supported) with signature-based scanning for
known spyware and heuristic/generic detection capabilities to catch new
mutated spyware
o Download Protection - prevent spyware from being download in Internet
Explorer
o Browser Hijacking Protection - stop browser hijacking activity in
real-time
o SG LiveUpdate - provides an easy updating solution
o Small size - with a small size and small definition sizes, download and
updates are quick
o Report Capabilities - keep a detailed log of all spyware detected
o Spyware files are blocked before being opened or run - they are not simply
shut down after they are loaded in memory (and after they have performed
their tasks)
It's a free download:

I use Spyware Blaster, Spyware Guard and Spybot Search and Destroy. The
difference with SG is that it runs (if you allow the shortcut in the startup
folder) upon logon, protecting you in 'real-time' as opposed to manually
running either of the other two services.
Spybot Note: You can deactivate allowing any change of your homepage after
running (clicking) "Immunize" from the Tools menu. Check the first two, or
all three if multiple users on the same account.
HTH?
