Spywareblaster & ftp

Since SpywareBlaster doesn't clean or remove anything from a system, it is fairly easy to figure out if it is the source of any problems you may run into. You do this by simply disabling it's protections, restarting the troubled application and see if the problem remains. (Please note that uninstalling SpywareBlaster does not, in and of itself, disable any of it's protections.)

To disable SpywareBlaster's protections: In its main screen press the "Deselect All" button, then "Remove Protection for Unchecked Items". At this point you'll see the protections clear and a confirmation box will popup. (The items will all stay unchecked and red-highlighted showing that all SpywareBlaster protections have been undone.)



If after doing that you still have the problem, then it was not the ActiveX or Cookie protections of SpywareBlaster causing the problem.

If it's anything related to these programs, and it really doesn't sound like it should be, but maybe when cleaning spyware off your system with Spybot S&D, some form of nasty spyware was removed and took a piece of your networking capability with it. Spybot can make backups of the things it removes. You may want to look at that.
