Software Update: SpywareBlaster 4.5

Javacool Software has released version 4.5 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:

• Added Pale Moon browser support.
• Improved support for the latest versions of Mozilla Firefox.
• Improved support for certain non-standard user account configurations.
• Improved installer experience on Windows Vista/7.
• Fixed rare updating issues.
• Numerous other bug fixes, optimizations, and tweaks.
• Flock browser support was removed in this release. The Flock browser is no longer actively maintained or supported by its makers.
