Hi,

My apologies for the inconvenience but it appears that that link had not yet been updated and the homepage for the app which javacool posted on the first article in the thread is inaccessible at present. I am going to IM the admins about this but in the interim you can download from

http://www.hazeleger.net/special/index.htm

Thanks for bringing this to our attention!

Best Regards,

Dan

Removed direct download link by request of Administrator of The Hair´s Lair.

 

Jezzman,

Can you please elaborate? I could not replicate what you were referring to

 

Hi JezzMan,

Could you please open a thread in the Privacy problems forum and post your HijackThis log

Don´t fix anything yet. Most of what it finds is harmless.

I have a question, it is the fist time I hear about SpywareBlaster.Can I use it together with Ad-Aware
Thanks

 

Hi Antarctica,

I use SpywareBlaster, SpywareGuard, AdAware 6 Pro and Spybot S&D without problems. All happily working together to keep me spywarefree.

Regards,

Pieter

 

Pieter_Arntz,

Thanks for the fast answer. I will give a try with SpywareBlaster.

 

Whoa, I just installed that other new version like 2 weeks ago, and here's another one. My head's still spinning.

 

I think I screwed something up.....I wanted to see what that flash kill thing was so I tried it and then I unchecked it and flashes still don't play...it's pretty annoying...

 

Did you try clearing out your cache and hitting "Refresh"?

Good luck, Acadia.

 

Go back into SpywareBlaster and make sure it's unchecked.

Then, if the change doesn't appear to activate immediately, reboot your pc.

Best regards,

I'm trying to check for updates, but following message appears: "An update is available but cannot be downloaded through this updater. Visit the site to obtain it". Does it refer to this new SpywareBlaster 2.6 to download? Thanks a lot

Dear JC:

Thanks for a great product. Is this the place to report a cookie that I would like to see Spywareblaster block?

The cookie is:

Vendor:Other

I do not know if Spywareblaster can block it or not, but that is a cookie I get each time I visit Lucianne.com, a news site. I do not know if I am getting it directly from that site, or from a news site that gets posted there.

I now have all 4 programs you mention above. My question relates to overkill. Ad-aware does not prevent as the other 3 do. I assume from your answer there is no conflict if all three are running but is it necessary to have all 3 going at the same time as I assume there is some resources being used? Also I do a lot of online gaming. Do those programs operate while I am doing that?

 

Nope - there shouldn't be any conflicts between the four programs (SpywareBlaster, SpywareGuard, Ad-Aware, and Spybot S & D).

You don't need to keep SpywareBlaster running in the background - simply Select All, Protect Against All Checked Items, and exit the program - protection will still be enabled. (Just open it once or twice a week to check for updates, and protect against all new items.)

You don't need to keep Spybot S & D open either. And SpywareGuard shouldn't cause any problems with gaming.

Howdy All !!!

I finally got 2.6 downloaded. However for some
reason I have not been able to get the updates. I guess I answered my own question here finally, because after I downloaded it, I hit my world for my site ( which is in Flash ) and it didn't seem to bother it. I'll check it again after reboot. Man, I see about everymember here + then some have read this post looking at the numbers. Java Cool -
Thanks alot man - I run most of your programs and to have such, " Giving To The World, " I tip my hat to you sir. "

Thanks for all of your programs, they are great. I talked to someone at PC World, forgot the name at the moment - praising your SpywareBlaster and they told me you were going to be featured in September, I think. Guess you know that ?

Have you ever seen this? AdAware catches it over and over, removes it but it comes back. I wasn't sure if this was your area of expertise or not:

 

Hi museheart,

Shall we keep that discussion limited to this thread: http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=11630 ?

TIA,

Pieter

 

Good idea.

 

Hello!

Since two weeks ago, I have installed "Spyblaster 2.6" and it works fine with my OS. (XP home) Thank you for the good work!

Do I need ALL these programs?

Do I need to run all these programs that you mention, Pieter?

SpywareBlaster, SpywareGuard, AdAware 6 Pro and Spybot S&D

 

Re:Error DeleteFile failed;Code 5

Everytime I try to install 2.6 I get a message that says DeleteFile failed; Code 5.

Does anyone know anything about this.

 

Re:Error DeleteFile failed;Code 5

Did you try uninstalling any previous versions first? If yes, please proceed with the following instructions:

1.) Reboot your computer.
2.) Re-download the installer from http://www.wilders.org/HTMLobj-1605/spywareblastersetup.exe .
3.) Try installing again. With any luck, it should work.
