I noticed this program in your config, and it sounds familiar, but I don't think I ever used it. Am I right in saying that it's an old school program? Not saying it's bad, but it's not a recent development? I'm going to try it out and let you all know what I think.

It has been going for a while but has database updates often and has full support.

It appears you're right, but I'm in the program and I don't see any protection options for
Chrome.

Edit: by no variations, you mean this wouldn't work with Slimjet?

Do you have Chrome installed?

P.S: Update and 'Enable All Protection'.

I have Flashpeak Slimjet. See my edit. I think it's because I don't use Chrome native.
Yes, it ONLY supports - Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer (P.S: Although it may not protect your default browser it is still woth using).

That's okay. I'll boot up Chrome native and I'll edit this post with how it goes.

Edit: zero decrease in browser performance. I'd say it serves its purpose, but I will continue to test it over the next few weeks and see if it's worth keeping. For now, I give it 4 stars.

Honestly Spywareblaster tool is a least priority for a user since many programs nowadays have better and accurate blocking hence its mainstream tends to use always.

True enough. What it has going for it is it's light as a feather, and it's not Spybot Search & Destroy, which I thought had an exceptional immunizer back in the day. Maybe it's still decent, but I'm not going to get it just for that feature alone.
