Re: is there spyware software worth bucking up for? Not dumb 
I'll bet you surf faster now without the ads and crap.
It's browser-agnostic too because it'a at a lower level.
It's a on-demand app unless you wanted to run the server part..some do to show an image locally instead of blank where the ads, etc used to be, I never saw the need myself.
It just simply will help update, manage, and edit your HOSTS file for you.
It can be kept on, and also auto-update if so told in options, but I just launch it, check for updates, and close it.
Yes, Winpatrol will wonder what's going on with the HOSTS when you do that..its supposed to. 
I dont auto-update anything except my AV, I figure it takes 5 mins out of my day to update spybot, spywareblaster, and the HOSTS file when I wake up and while I'm making coffee.
If something goes awry, I'm there.
