Moderators Andavari Posted July 17, 2015 Moderators Share Posted July 17, 2015 (edited) SpywareBlaster doesn't find anything, it's non-resident and installs protections, i.e.; killbits, blocks bad sites and cookies. Edit: Still annoys me that after two years since the last version was released in 2013 that they offer zero support for Firefox Portable. Wish they'd implement the ability to manually point it to Firefox Portable to apply protection. Edited July 17, 2015 by Andavari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
login123 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Thanks, Hazelnut. Got it. The CCleaner SLIM version is always released a bit after any new version; when it is it will be HERE :-) Pssssst: ... It isn't really a cloud. Its a bunch of big, giant servers.

I guess I should have said, what does SpywareBlaster guard you against if you already have that layered security I mentioned in place. SB seems targeted to either XP machines (about 3% global users) or IE (about 7% users remaining). Plus I only ever run any browser I use in Private Mode. So I've never gotten what SB can do for me.

Moderators hazelnut Posted July 17, 2015 Author Moderators Share Posted July 17, 2015 SpywareBlaster works on Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10. (32/64-bit) Secure Your BrowserSpywareBlaster provides protection for your favorite web browser(s): 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 Guarding the Door Many other programs use Internet Explorer as a default browser, or use the Internet Explorer engine to display their interface or content. So even if your browser is not listed above (e.g. Opera), SpywareBlaster will protect you in many other cases. Wouldn't really agree that it's only for XP or IE An extra layer that uses no resources cannot be a bad thing.

Moderators Andavari Posted July 17, 2015 Moderators Share Posted July 17, 2015 Wouldn't really agree that it's only for XP or IE Yes, and it was released after XP had been around for awhile. While it's not just for IE it will stop a ton of stuff that tries to exploit IE thus protecting the whole system silently without annoying the user.

Moderators mta Posted July 17, 2015 Moderators Share Posted July 17, 2015 OK, then can I ask, has anyone that uses SpywareBlaster had it 'protect' them by stopping something that their other protection layers have missed?

Moderators hazelnut Posted July 18, 2015 Author Moderators Share Posted July 18, 2015 There are no logs It's sort of a tricky concept to get your head round mta as we are so used to software that logs everything. Here is quite an old post from javacool which gives a sort of oversight... bear in mind things in the program have moved on a bit. http://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/how-exactly-does-spywareblaster-work.234823/#post-1431697 Another explanation which kind of puts it in a nutshell is here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpywareBlaster Support contact https://support.ccleaner.com/s/contact-form?language=en_US&form=general or support@ccleaner.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mta Posted July 18, 2015 Moderators Share Posted July 18, 2015 I'm happy with no logs and the hush-hush concept in general, but what a wasted marketing opportunity for it not to at least pop up a status bubble stating "hey I just blocked xyz for you".

Moderators Andavari Posted July 18, 2015 Moderators Share Posted July 18, 2015 a wasted marketing opportunity for it not to at least pop up a status bubble stating "hey I just blocked xyz for you". They do have the very old SpywareGuard (only tested up to WinXP), although old it is still functional. From what you've stated I thought of it and wondered what if - as in what if they had combined the two in someway all those years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
