SpywareBlaster is a totally different type of product compared to MBAM.

SpywareBlaster blocks spyware and ad tracking cookies, active x controls on IE, adds restricted site list to IE and script protection on Google Chrome. It allows you to create System Snapshots and restore them, and offers other browser related tools.

Yes I still use SpywareBlaster, it doesn't cause various issues that I have experienced from Ghostery and other browser extensions.

Thanks.

So it's still kept up to date , thinking about getting it again. I rarely use IE, think it's compatible with opera?

But i think it's really not needed since if a user use MBAM. MBAM can also detects spyware .Some security addons in browser is nuff for preventing cookies, scripts. If a user creates backup schedule 2-3 days a week, i think it's system snapshots didn't required. Plus in youtube i didn't see any new reviews of spyware blaster, mostly are 1,2,4 yrs old review. I think mostly peoples don't have any interest on it. Also when i tried to open it's website it says " the webpage is not available" but tried with proxy & it's page opened.

It says it's protect against thousands of spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, malware, and other potentially unwanted programs which is main feature of spyware blaster. MBAM also protects u from spyware, adware, dialers, malware, PUP ( don't sure about browser hijackers) . it says it provides protection for
Internet Explorer
Google Chrome
Mozilla Firefox
Netscape
Seamonkey
Pale Moon
K-Meleon
and browsers that use the IE engine, including:
AOL web browser
Avant Browser
Slim Browser
Maxthon (formerly MyIE2)
Crazy Browser
GreenBrowser
( sorry if i missed any, proxy not showing me it's page correctly ) Opera is not listed here. I dunno which engine opera uses.

Thanks, I believe Opera now uses the same as Chrome does

That's good protection against tracking. customize ur browser settings & extensions but sure don't bloat ur browser with too much unnecessary addons. u can use cookie extension to block unwanted tracking cookies, like i use vanilla cookie manage in chrome. Disconnect is good & provides protection against 2000+ tracking sites.

I heard it too. U can try spware blaster & see if it fulfill ur needs.u r welcome

I use "Download Chrome Extension" so I can get extensions out of the Chrome store for Opera, vanilla cookie is good, and Imma try out Disconnect rn, been meaning to for awhile

 

[Koroke San]

That's pretty good but remember cookie can trace u even u clean ur browser cookies after u closed ur browser. So before closing any website, " mouse hover in vanilla cookie manager icon & hit " clear unwanted cookies " & u done.

 

[Jcwisgod]

Not sure 100% how to use it, gonna download it and mess around with it for a minute

 

[Koroke San]

If u face any problem, feel free to ask me. i'll provide u screenshot help XD

 

[Jcwisgod]

Alright I got 1 question about it so far, what's the "Sites with protected cookies" option for?

 

[Koroke San]

Sites with protected cookies gives you a log of protected cookies within Chrome.

 

[Jcwisgod]

Not quite sure what that means

 

[Koroke San]

I even dunno much about it. U better ask Littlebits .
Edit : i think it shows list of sites who protected their own cookies.Not sure! I didn't see any cookies on " protected cookies " list from when i using it, so can't tell u much about it.

 

[Jcwisgod]

Alright thanks that's probably right

It uses the Blink engine part the Chromium Project and is as used by Chrome (28+) and Opera (15+).
