Is SpywareBlaster a relatively ineffective program?

0

Spyware Blaster works by settings “kill bits” in the registry. These “kill bit” registry entries are set for the spyware ActiveX CLSIDs (unique IDs that identify an ActiveX control). When a kill bit is set for a CLSID, the ActiveX control that uses that CLSID cannot install itself via your browser, nor can it run if it already installed. Microsoft sometimes uses these kill bits for fixing Active-X security holes. Make sure you update SpywareBlaster regulary as well…
