System Tray

Hi Brian,

SpywareBlaster does not minimize to the systray because it does not need to be running in the background.

SpywareBlaster is a preventative program. It sets flags in your registry to prevent the running of a specific list of bad spyware related ActiveX controls. This includes general spyware and malicious dialers. But, it does not need to be running all the time. You just run SpywareBlaster periodically, say once a week, to check to see if its database has added new protections. After that, it no longer needs to run, but all the flags (kill-bits) it has set remain protecting you.

So, no need to reduce it or hide it.
