Do I need it in my startup folder or to open and close the program every time I startup my PC for it to work properly? Or can I just leave it after installation and it'll do the job?

Many thanks,

Ben

Just leave it do its job. I have a shortcut on my desktop which I use to check for updates every few weeks. :)

As twl845 mentioned....be sure and check for updates periodically. As for needing it in your startup folder....there is no need as noted in the below FAQ.

FAQ: Do I have to keep SpywareBlaster™ running for it to provide protection? (http://www.javacoolsoftware.info/kb/idx/0/052/article/)

-{ Quote: "DETAILS

SpywareBlaster does not need to be running to provide protection.

After you enable protection for any/all items, you can exit the program and you will still be protected (SpywareBlaster does not need to be running in the background).

You do not have to start up SpywareBlaster each time you start your computer either - your protection remains in place until you disable it whether SpywareBlaster is running or not.

But don't forget to run SpywareBlaster at least once a week to download the latest updates and enable protection for them!" }-

Updates more like once a month or once everyother month not once a week. But as it is free who can gripe,lol.
