Hi,
Windows Live OneCare, Windows Defender, and Microsoft Forefront Client Security were/are falsely detecting "spywareblaster.exe", a legitimate component of SpywareBlaster 4.1, as a virus. This is a false positive detection.
We've been informed that Microsoft is in the process of updating their products' definitions to resolve this issue (http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=1265776&postcount=10).
If you encounter this problem, please ensure you have updated the virus definitions of the affected Microsoft anti-virus / anti-spyware utility installed on your system. (If there are no new updates available, we are fairly certain they will be available soon, so keep checking.)
After updating, Windows Live OneCare / Windows Defender / Microsoft Forefront Client Security should no longer falsely detect "spywareblaster.exe" (and associated registry entries) as a virus. You should then be able to reinstall SpywareBlaster from a fresh download from our download page, and run it, without further trouble: http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/sbdownload.html
Best regards,
