Default Re: how do I know it's working?

Here's a thread where this question was asked recently:

http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=55589

Basically the answer is that you won't see any visible signs because SpywareBlaster provides protections passively, by setting flags on the system. The will be no popup alerts or log files to review with SpywareBlaster. The way you may notice it working is that you should get less spyware now that you have SpywareBlaster installed and enabled, then you would without it on your system.

no, once its installed and protection enabled its running everytime you boot up. al you have to do is either get updates manually or if you paid for it then it autoupdates for you when online. no fuss no muss. your good.

No, you don't have to run it everytime on reboot.
Like Cochise said, check regularly for updates and when you download the updates enable the protection for all again. That's all.
