Here's an idea that may help you out...

Some web advertising companies allow "opt-out" cookies to be stored by the browsers to prevent their anonymous data tracking (until the expiration of the cookie, at least). An example of this can be found at http://www.networkadvertising.org/optout_nonppii.asp where you can set opt-out cookies for DoubleClick and Atlas DMT/Avenue A companies.

Perhaps this could be used as an Immunization technique in Spyware Blaster?
