Protection for "Anti-Virus 2008" rogue

If you mean that you've removed SpywareBlaster because the protections are being disabled by a rogue program, well, that's not a good idea.

SpywareBlaster has no active monitoring process. It sets flags and protective bits of data in the registry. That's all it does. It does not ensure that they stay set. An active monitor would be needed for that.

If something else is disabling those protections, it is not SpywareBlaster's fault. It is a sign that either you have an active infection doing it, or, some other anti-spyware program is conflicting, sees the SpywareBlaster protections as infections, and so it is undoing them.

Regardless of why, you have an issue on that system and all you are doing, if you've removed SpywareBlaster, is hidden your head in the sand by pretending that there is no problem. You should at least research what it is that is on your system undoing the protections because, if it is malware, you may have a serious problem there.

None of us have any vested interest in you having SpywareBlaster on your system. Use it or don't. But, if something is removing its protections, then you really need to find out what - for your own system's safety.

 

Well, you could treat it like it is a spyware infection, and go to a forum that provides one-on-one spyware cleaning assistance. See our thread on spyware cleaning. It contains a list of recommended forums to choose from:

SpywareInfo and GeeksToGo are rather large and busy, but, have huge staffs. Gladiator and WhatTheTech are smaller, and you might get faster turn times, or not. Hard to say. CastleCops is currently struggling with service outages, so better to not try there just now.

Anyway, go to one of those forums, register and follow the procedures documented for posting a HijackThis Log. Tell them upfront that you got something unsetting some or all SpywareBlaster protections, and you want to find it and fix it. They should be able to clean you right up.
