SpywareBlaster 2.6 released!

I think this all depends on which mirror you use. Now that I think of it, there is only one correct one to use when your redircted to the download. Use the one Javacool pointed out and please let us know how you made out. There's a differance : The European," ," and the American, ". " are the same. Sorry going off topic : But shouldn't folks be using the Adaware 6.2 build, rather than the 6.0 ? Any experts add some light to this ? Is it covered in another thread here ? Low Water Mark - any knowledge of this ?
I think Mike at spywareinfo commented on this awhile back.

 

Hi heggee,

Build 6.2 is still being worked on.

I think Mike would have been referring to build 6.181

Thank you Pieter !

I'm new here, just installed Spywareblaster. Looks like another great app. Spybot S&D convinced me, found 11 nasties on my system that AdAware ignored...

Anyway, my question is, What do I do about the browser pages that I don't recognize that are listed under the Tools section of Spywareblaster? There is an option to edit them, but what if I want to remove them?

Thanks!

 

As long as they're only the following you should be fine just leaving them there.

ie.search.msn.com/

Spyware Blaster has blocked 662 bad commnds. Spybot S+D tells me there are 672 bad commands. The thing is; when I started SBS+D said I had 4 to immunize; I did + recognized Spyblaster would control it better. When I immunized the last 4 with SBS+D,my bootup time now is about 4 minutes. Had to back track, undo - hit it with Spyblaster again which gave me the 662 bad command block.
Question : Can anyone tell me how I can find out what the 10 last bad commands are ? I couldn't undo SBS+D as I had rebooted and lost the option to undo the last four. Should I contine + have the 10 blocked ?
Thanks,
Ed

 

Spybot currently protects against 471 items vs. SpywareBlaster's 620.

There are a few items that are in Spybot's database but not included in SpywareBlaster's. For example, Spybot will try to protect against a few cookie items that are redundant when compared to the other items included in the database. Since they are not at all needed, they are not included in SpywareBlaster's database. (Hopefully that answers your question?)

Thanks Javacool ! All seems well now thanks to you !

 

I have installed and used this program with great success BUT it now will not run. I could not find an uninstall. Thought I could install over the old program but now two are trying to run and neither works.

How do I uninstall? and is there a difference between spyBLASTER and spyGUARD?

thanks

 

hyas all. I just installed this app=spyware blaster. How do I know if it is working? Will it tell me what has been blocked? And the autoupdater says it cannot reach the server, for sone reason. So I can`t update. Is there a software problem, or is the server down? thx

 

Hi Shaitan,

Welcome at Wilders.

Since SpywareBlaster is designed so it doesn't have to run in the background, it is unable to produce logs.

The server seems to be down at the moment, so please try again later.

HTH,

Pieter

 

I'm getting this when I try to fetch the update files. Maybe because it's the last day of the month?

I seem to be getting an error message when trying to receive updates. The message indicates that there was an error getting updates from the file server. I have downloaded the 2.6 version and still get this message. Is there something I don't know here? My firewall is in place and I have windows XP.

HELP!!!!
