1.	Solve : SpywareBlaster vs. WOT, IE8's SmartScreen, and OpenDNS?
Answer» Am I correct that WOT, IE8's SmartScreen, and OpenDNS checks the URLS of websites online against their own databases, while SpywareBlaster checks URLs against IE’s resident list of Restricted Sites? And that in addition, SpywareBlaster also changes Windows and browser settings to block bad sites? Quote while SpywareBlaster checks URLs against IE’s resident list of Restricted Sites? And that in addition, SpywareBlaster also changes Windows and browser settings to block bad sites? SpywareBlaster Home Version (FREE) does not check Restricted Sites, IE does that. One of the purposes of SpywareBlaster HV is to update the browser Restricted Sites list when SpywareBlaster HV is updated. SpywareBlaster HV does not run in the background, it only runs when updating then terminates until the next time the user opens the program file (unless automatic updating is in force). Here is a quote from the suppliers of SpywareBlaster: Quote From Javacool Software : SpywareBlaster doesn't scan for and clean spyware--it prevents it from being installed in the first place. SpywareBlaster prevents the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, dialers, browser hijackers, and other potentially unwanted programs. It can also block spyware/tracking cookies in IE, MOZILLA FIREFOX, Netscape, and many other browsers, and restrict the actions of spyware/ad/tracking sites. With the built-in Check for Updates feature, you can HELP ensure your protection is up-to-date. SpywareBlaster also includes a System Snapshot feature, which lets you take a snapshot of your computer in its clean state and later revert, undoing many changes made by spyware and browser hijackers.
