Spyware Blaster for me

by damianww Oct 22, 2005 1:48AM PDT

Since i installed (and paid a small sum for) Spyware Blaster i have not had even ONE instance of spyware detected.
I run Adware also plus Microsoft Antispyware..and just for the heck of it ( & why not..huh?) Spybot Search & Destroy. Aside from the small outlay for Spyware Blaster the others are, as you know, free for personal use.
After experimeting (a costly experiment) with other rather pricy spyware detection software, which interfered with my antivirus protection & had to be uninstalled...i cannot stress strongly enough TRY the above combination for yourselves.
For your information i have been running all of the above for over 6 months now..and , yep..NO spyware of any description.
Give them a try, you have nothing to lose except the spyware.

Thou shalt not

Thou shalt not run thy computer with Spyware Blaster alone.

You should have a good virus protection program, Spybot Search & Destroy, Ad-Aware SE.

A good firewall would also be nice.

Hope this helps.

Thou hasest & more..thank you

Yep mate i have both those you mentioned..PLUS Zone Alarm Pro., McAfee Virus 2005 & also use my Windows SP2 Firewall. I also use an expensive but invaluable anonymous 'safe surfing' piece of software. As i said..& i repeat...the combination i have finally assembled has more than proven it's worth.
But..Hey...thanks anyways.
