Is SpywareBlaster a relatively ineffective program?
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…
