After disabling protection and exiting as instructed, I removed SpywareBlaster4.3 using the native uninstall program. The original installation and setup was monitored using Revo Pro. Running Custom Uninstall from Revo shows a frightening number of logged entries remaining in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE System and HKEY_USERS hives. Not all are easily identified with SpywareBlaster, but a huge, recognizable number of items are still present under the following keys, among others:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\P3P\History;

HKLM\Software\Classes\(CLSID|Interface|SpywareBlaster); and

HKU\S-1-5-...\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\
Internet Settings\(P3P\History|ZoneMap\Domains).

I have not installed the current version 4.0. Is there a utility or .reg file available to perform a more thorough removal of the earlier version and its data before doing so? Or will the updated version reclaim the orphaned data and settings entries?

Thanks.

You can install the new version over the top of the previous version. See the first sticky post in this forum.
