Sandra - If you're using IE as your browser, you need to be utilizing IE-SPYAD, also.

Make sure you configure your "Restricted" sites zone as recommended. HTH Pete

Hi Sandra,

Since Javacool will no doubt jump in somewhere along the line to correct a minor misunderstanding, I might as well throw it in now and save him the "trip" (not that he isn't frequently in anyway).

SpywareBlaster doesn't run at all, except when you're updating its definitions or changing its protection options. The Task Manager won't show it as an active application or process, except when you're doing one of those.

Maybe you're confusing it with SpywareGuard, also from Javacool, which is a resident "background" application?

Best, Mike
