Spyware prevention software with some pretty ambitious goals.

SpywareBlaster is an Internet Browser utility which provides a vaccine against some of the nasty malware out there on the web. It specifically deals with malicious ActiveX controls, cookies and restricts access to known dangerous web sites.

After updating the program post-installation, you are ready to apply the filters you wish to activate for a safer browsing experience. These filters apply to Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome and a few other browsers.

Among the features of SpywareBlaster is a snapshot creator which is essentially like a Windows system restore point which allows you to rollback or backup things like the hosts file and Windows network settings.

SpywareBlaster is especially effective at preventing security issues with older versions of Internet Explorer which may still be installed on your machine.
