Software Update: SpywareBlaster 4.3
Javacool Software has released version 4.3 of SpywareBlaster. While programs such as Ad-Aware and Spybot S&D focus on removing spyware present on the PC, SpywareBlaster tries to prevent malware from nesting on the PC. The program does this by blocking installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, tracking cookies and dialers. SpywareBlaster is free for private use; a contribution is only requested for the automatic update function. The changelog of this release shows the following changes and improvements:
New in this version:
- SeaMonkey 2.x support
- Improved Firefox (and other Gecko-based browsers) support
- Improved high-DPI support
- Misc IE Settings enhancements for Windows Vista/7
- Fixed incorrect “not enough free space” message on large hard drives
- Numerous additional bug fixes, tweaks, and optimizations
