Nice post about spyware blaster lots of anti spyware programs dont work using windows 7 . Would be a good topic to list anti-syware programs that are compatible with windows 7 - both 32X and 64x .

That's the 1st I've found. For Vista I use this and SuperAntiSpyware.
SAS shut my system down when I tried it on Win7.

Same here was using super anti spyware and it shut down my puter had to rollback to get back into windows Shame cos sas is a great bit of kit. Seems a lot of companies producing good anti spyware are just not prepared for windows 7 as yet .
Have a nice day great post

Remember zone alarm when vista first came out was a long time b4 there was a vista compatable zone alarm. Hope history does not repeat itself . In this time of economic gloom any one that produces a good windows 7 security system will clean up

Spyware Guard is good to go along with Spyware Blaster

Here' the SpywareBlaster tutorial:http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/Using_SpywareBlaster_to_protect_your_computer_from_Spyware_Hijackers_and_Malware-tut49.html

Spyware Guard is a real-time malware scanner that will let you know if something such as an unwanted BHO is about to be added or your home page is about to be changed.
Spyware Blaster is protection against unwanted (bad) Active X's and BHO's

Yeah, they say they're not going to fix it until Windows 7 is RTM.
