    Review SpywareBlaster

    SpywareBlaster is a tool that prevents the installation of spyware, adware, and all kinds of malware in general.

    Programs known as malware can be classified as intrusive and, in many cases, annoying. This type of program is usually installed without the user being aware of it. The usual installation technique used by these malwares is an installation in the background while installing other software. For example, the installation of JDownloader 2 includes additional software that displays unwanted advertising on the user's computer (Note: in Usitility, we offer a JDownloader 2 “clean” version that doesn't include any malware).

    As we can see, installing some malware on our computers is simple and very common, so it is important to be protected against that. Currently, many anti-viruses include Malware detection and removal, but it's good to have a more specific solution to these threats.

    SpywareBlaster prevents the installation of malware, adware, spyware, etc. That is to say; this software does not delete the malware installed on our PC. It prevents malware installation. If there is already some malware on our PC, we need to use another solution to remove that malware. Once the PC is clean, we can proceed to install SpywareBlaster.

    This software protects our PC, “fixing” vulnerabilities of web browsers exploited by malware. We can imagine these vulnerabilities like holes in the walls of a house where unwanted insects can enter. This program is like a stopper in those holes, so insects can't access the house.

    When the program is installed, the only thing to do is to activate the protection for the different elements (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Restricted Sites). If we want to activate those protections, we need to click on the “Enable all protection” link. This will prevent the installation on the browsers of certain cookies or malicious scripts and prevent access to certain potentially dangerous websites.

    The program is not installed in memory nor runs in the background. We have to apply the protections and update it from time to time (once a week is a good option). So the program does not interfere with system performance.

    This software offers the possibility to create a backup of important system files; in this way, we will be able to recover these files at any time when necessary.

    Also, there are other possibilities, such as:

    • Configure Internet Explorer start page and search engine.
    • Create an encrypted backup of hosts file (usually located in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts).
    • Disable and block “Flash Player” in Internet Explorer. This way, all-flash elements of the webpage will be blocked and will not be displayed.
    • Create a list of ActiveX controls to block. With this option, we can block ActiveX controls that are not included in the software database.

    This software update is manual; we need to open the program and click on the “Check for Updates” button. It is a good idea to update the program each week to install new protections incorporated into the software's internal database.

    This free program allows us to purchase a license to enable the “Automatic Updates” function. With this option, the program will be updated without our intervention.
