    Let's see how many members are running SpywareBlaster, and how many are running SpywareGuard?
    Or neither?
    There will always be a place on my PCs for SpywareBlaster, but I quit using SpywareGuard about a year ago.

    I still have it, but don't update it often. I think i keep it for old times sake = the good old days memories :)

    The main reason i don't really need it is, i have ActiveX blocked in IE & also the OS. Plus i mainly use FF these days.

    However, i do put it on other peoples comps :thumb:

    Neither. SpywareBlaster only protects against cookies for Firefox. SpywareGuard is out-of-date.

    I put SBlaster back on recently after it stopped working and would not remember it`s own settings...
    so must have been dependent on some feature of Windows (I probably disabled) although I never did find out what it was - working on a fresh install now though.

    Even if it`s just blocking some cookies in Firefox, it`s passive and isn`t annoying.

    Stopped using them both ages ago. With virtualizers and sandboxing they are really unnecessary.

    Neither...I use to use both but started having conflicts with the AV so I dropped them. With what I use now I don't really see where they are needed anyway.

    Some years ago, I used to have SB and SG.
    Since then, neither of them...;)

    Do you mean it's nearly useless for Firefox users? :doubt: Maybe it's time to remove it ...

    Pretty much. I find Spybot's Immunize better for Firefox users.

    I have in the past but I have not run it recently. Last time I ran it I was running it next to ThreatFire v4.1 and got stuck in a reboot loop. After I learned what the cause it I removed SB and have not tried it again.

    I only use Super AntiSpyeware Free Edition. I don't need any resident program other than Eset Smart Security. :rolleyes:

    Hello,

    I run SpywareBlaster. It's one of the programs that I update on a daily basis even though it takes a week or so for the new database to be released.

    Regards,

    Nathan
