Hello

I have just downloaded Spywareblaster Version 3.5.1. and not sure what I should be doing on it? (sorry not too computer literate)

See the image below, what settings etc should I have?

PS thanks for editing the image Bubba, how did you do that as I couldn't get rid of the black background, I'm using InfraView?

You have all protection enabled so that is a good start. I would suggest you take a look at the below Spywareblaster tutorial and if you have further questions Please do ask.

Thanks Bubba for the link!

I've noticed that in 'Internet Explorer' and 'Restricted Sites' everything is ticked and I'm unsure what I should be unticking?

Many thanks Bubba, I think then I'll just keep everything ticked to be on the safe side, hope that will be ok!

keep everything checked and download firefox to have protection against everything and a safer browser then IE

Not so sure Firefox is a "safer" browser than Internet Explorer; heard
Firefox is having more "updates" to plug security holes and new versions
seem to be coming out on a "regular" basis !? Probably safer with Opera,
Avant or Flock !?
