Default SpywareBlaster 3.1 released!

SpywareBlaster 3.1 has been released!

New in this version:
-Restricted Sites Protection
-Mozilla/Firefox Protection
-A brand-new interface
-And many, many other new features and changes!

This 3.1 release provides bug fixes and enhanced performance.
The Mozilla/Firefox protection should now correctly detect profiles for Mozilla 1.7 & Firefox 0.8 and up.

NEW UPDATING OPTIONS IN SPYWAREBLASTER 3.1
SpywareBlaster still offers the built-in Check for Updates feature. This feature is completely free and allows you to keep up-to-date by clicking on a button in the SpywareBlaster interface.

SpywareBlaster 3.1 now offers SpywareBlaster AutoUpdate - a brand-new updating solution. Just set it up, and AutoUpdate will check at every system boot for the latest updates and enable the newest protection (other options are available).

As much as we would like to provide auto-updating functionality for free, bandwidth costs are simply too great to make it feasible. AutoUpdate functionality is $9.95 (US) per year, which helps to cover the bandwidth costs. The Check for Updates function remains completely free, as does SpywareBlaster. You only need to pay if you wish to have the extra convenience of AutoUpdate.

Download the latest version here: http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html

Enjoy!

Best regards,

-Javacool

P.S. If you have any problems please don't hesitate to post.

Please try this download site:

http://www.net-integration.net/tools...reblaster.html

If it still doesn't work trying pressing F5 or CTRL+F5 to refresh the page - it's possible your browser is caching an old version.

Hello! I tried to DL SWB-3.1, But it DL'ed v.3.0 (TWICE !!!). I hit the Ctrl+F5 before attempting the DL. It showed the DL page for 3.1, so I DL'ed it (after Un-Installing v.3.0, of course). After it went through the entire set-up, it showed as v.3.0 !!! After, deleting the program, and cache, and cookies, and recycle bin (etc.), I went through the whole procedure again!!!
Unfortunately, I ended up with the same results again!!! So, as it stands, I have a newly downloaded SWB v.3.0 with the last update showing as "3-28-04".
SO . . . . . . . . . . WHAT'S UP ? ? ?

Thank You for your help !

I had to completely remove the version 3.0 (Add/Remove)to install 3.1. I did not have to do this with the 3.0 version orignailly.
After removing 3.0, 3.1 installed with no problems.

Please try completely uninstalling the SpywareBlaster application.

Then, try to download the latest version directly from here:

http://www.javacoolsoftware.net/down...tersetup31.exe

Thanks,

Thank You! I'll give it a try. I did Go through the "Add/Delete" program on my computer before i attempted both downloads before. I don't know if I'll be able to complete the entire process again before this Board goes "dark".

Wish me luck !

H A P P Y - H A P P Y , J O Y - J O Y ! ! !

THANK YOU ! ! !

That worked GREAT !

When I saw the "31" in the download/set-up file, I knew I was home FREE !

{ Maybe putting the version number as part of the DL file would be a pretty good idea ALL the time ! }

Again, Thank You very much !

I look forward to the l o n g a w a i t e d update for SpyWareGuard sometime soon !!!

I had the same problem (tried 3 times from three different sites and got 3.0 all three times). I finally came here and found the correct link. Thanks for this site.

Hi

Was wondering if before installing new version of Spyware Blaster 3.1, is it recommended that we first disable all protection for IE protection, restricted sites, & Firefox protection in v3.0 first? Then delete Spyware Blaster 3.0? Finally, Should we then also delete the Spyware Blaster 3.0 folder (if there is one after delete of 3.0)? Thanks so much.

I believe you'll find Upgrade Instructions at the bottom of the following page:

Hope it helps.

Is it necessary to go to 3.1 from 3.0?

Can I stick with 3.0?

I just installed it on 5 computers and dont want to have to do it again if its not necessary. I dont use Mozilla.

Hi,

There are other bug fixes in the 3.1 version, including fixes in the Restricted Sites feature and updating. Plus some minor performance enhancements.

The way the programs are set up, you won't be able to get updates with the old 3.0 version, so updating is the only way to go. But I recommend updating anyway because of the reasons mentioned above.

Best regards,

-Javacool

What versions of Mozilla or Firefox are you using?

3.1 only supports Mozilla 1.7 and up, and Firefox 0.8 and up.

I have win98, and installed version 3.1, but, it won't start: when I try to start it, there's a popup which says "unexpected error", and nothing else happens. The same thing happened with version 3.1, but not with previous versions.

I just downloaded and insalled version3.1 which, unlike version3.0, ran like charm on win98SE.
It appears you have solved the problem of why version3.0 would not run on Win98, at least for my setup.
Thanks a gigabunch,

There appears to still be an issue with Firefox 0.8 protection.

On 1 machine running Mozilla 1.5, selecting protection created a hostperm.1 file in the Mozilla Profile folder.

On a different machine running Firefox 0.8, with protection enabled, there was no hostperm.1 file written anywhere.

Both machines running WinME.

Default Re: SpywareBlaster 3.1 released!

Is there any place to get 3.0 back again? I keep getting an error 14 -out of string space pop up with the new version. Am running Win98se and pretty sure the problem is not lack of ram or hard drive. Had no problem with the earlier version. Also I am using Mozilla 1.7. Any suggestions would be really appreciated. I did a clean install of 3.1 as well. Hope I have given all the information someone might need to point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance. Linda

Default SpywareBlaster 3.1 works on Win98se

I'd earlier posted that SB 3.0 doesn't work (no GUI) on my Win98se PC.

Pleased to say that SB 3.1 works fine.

Thanks very much Javacool

Best regards,
Gavin
