System Tray - Spyware blaster

Hi Kell,

SpywareBlaster is not meant to go to the systray, nor does it need to be left running in the background. SpywareBlaster is a program that sets preventative entries in the registry. Once you run it and set the protections you simply close it and run it every week or so to check for updates. (If an update is found, you have it set those new protections and again exit the program.)

The benefit to this type of protection is that it uses no resources and needs no continuously running program.

 

Yes, in fact the authors of both programs (Spybot S&D and SpywareBlaster) recommend each others products and they complement each other nicely. Spybot's resident protection does different things than SpywareBlaster, so it is an additional layer of protection. (Be sure to try all of Spybot's Immunize features and on that screen you'll see that it references SpywareBlaster, right in Spybot.)
