PROBLEMS WITH INTERNET EXPLORER AFTER INSTALLING SPYWAREBLASTER

I HAVE ENCOUNTERED A BROWSER FUNCTIONALITY PROBLEM, WHICH DOES SEEM TO HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY SPYWAREBLASTER. AFTER INSTALLING 3.1, MANY LINKS IN INTERNET EXPLORER WOULD NO LONGER WORK, INCLUDING JAVASCRIPT AND SOME LINKS FROM MSN.COM, MY HOME PAGE. THERE WERE NO ERROR MESSAGES, A PROBLEM I'VE NOTICED ANOTHER USER HAVING. THE LINKS SIMPLY WOULD NOT WORK. I TRIED UNCHECKING THE ITEM ASSOCIATED WITH MSN IN SPYWAREBLASTER, BUT IT HAD NO EFFECT. THIS APPEARS TO BE ONLY AN I.E. PROBLEM SINCE NETSCAPE 7.1 WORKED FINE. AS SOON AS I UNINSTALLED SPYWAREBLASTER, I.E. STARTED WORKING PROPERLY AGAIN!! I WOULD LIKE TO REINSTALL THE PROGRAM IF YOU CAN TELL ME WHAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM AND HOW TO FIX IT. THANK YOU
