This is beta software, its meant for testing, not finding issues and
recommending something else. Feed back is whats needed, not recommendations.

Spyware Blaster also does NOT scan for and remove installed spyware.
It blocks spyware from BEING INSTALLED, but does nothing about already
installed spyware.

IME Spyware blaster misses quite a few spyware threats as well; In my
testing of MS AS I have been deliberately going to websites that are known
to install spyware, and have had MS AS and Spybots S&D real time protection
pop up warnings about spyware that Spyware Blaster ignores and would allow
to be installed. (if I let it)....

Hi Wayne,
Thanks for the input.
The MS program will also block spyware on the downstream.

Yes. I have Microsoft Anti-Spyware Beta 1 on my computers. It works great
in conjunction with Spyware Blaster, Ad-Aware SE 1.05, and Norton's
Internet Security 2003.

Max, if you know of websites that are known to attempt to install unsafe
ActiveX controls/plugins and/or spyware/adware cookies that's not being
blocked by SWB, by all means contact Javacool and submit the sites.
