[Spyware Blaster Update 28.01.08]

Thanks for the heads up Silj, I also appreciate the reminder.

You're welcome, Dennis - I could post a boat-load of these here but we'd need a new area - IMHO.

Not to clog-up this Special Place

[Ad-aware SE & LS 2007 Definition File Update [28.01.08]]

I wouldn't run LS 2007, either - but you've to give them some credit to make a better scaning engine. Let's hope LS get's it right one of these days.

[Spyware Blaster Update 28.01.08]

There's a new update for SB. 130 new items.

That would include 9641 Total Items in the database.

 

Thanks for the note...

[Not an urban legend: Snopes pushes Zango]

Be careful running Snopes, folks.

Update The issue has been fixed at Snopes due to massive public outcry of the invasive pop-up ads.

[Spyware Blaster Update 28.01.08]

Well, didn't know that. I got free version.

Hope my last post clarifies the Auto Update feature. I would hazard a guess that it does.

 

Silj

[Spyware Blaster Update 28.01.08]

If you haven't noticed, there's an 'AutoUpdate' feature. I don't use it. I check updates (Check for Updates) from time to time.

Ah, I see your point now - though the Automatic Update feature is not part of the freeware build. I, too, use the Check for Updates from time to time, as SpywareBlaster does not update on a regular basis.

 

Silj

[Spyware Blaster Update 28.01.08]

thanx for reminding

You're welcome.

 

Silj

[Spyware Blaster Update 28.01.08]

Thanks. It's good to get a remind, since i don't use auto update.

You're most welcome - I would be curious to know how you manually update SpwareBlaster ?

 

Silj

[Ad-aware SE & LS 2007 Definition File Update [28.01.08]]

Just wonder, how long they will provide these defs. updates for SE?

It is not known at this point in time how long Lavasoft will provide support for manual updates of SE.

 

Silj

[Spyware Blaster Update 28.01.08]
