I installed Spyware Blaster OK. However when attempting to run it from the desktop shortcut nothing happens. I have uninstalled it and redownloaded it several times without success. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Are you running Windows 98 or ME by any chance?

If yes, see here: http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=26356

I am having the same problem. In the meantime while it is fixed, can I get the old install to protect my system somewhere?

Just out of curiosity, can you open SB from the Start Menu? If yes, have you tried deleting the 'installed' desktop shortcut and creating a new one yourself?

Thanks for the suggestion. I just tried it, but it did not work either. :-\

Hi there, Overdrive, and welcome to Wilders! ;)

Now, did you mean that you couldn't open SB from the Start Menu or from the desktop shortcut that you made?

I could not start it from the Start menu either.
Sorry for confusion.
