Eric Howes, the keeper and creater of the IE-SPYAD list is a frequent visitor of this site and he will announce his updates in the Security Software Updates sticky at the top of the Security forum so you really don't have to go off and check every 3 days ;) Just check the Updates sticky and you'll know when a new one is released.

Close. First, you actually linked to the AGNIS section of the page. What you really want to link to the IE-SPYAD scetion. »www.staff.uiuc.edu/~ehowes/resou···#IESPYAD

Second, when you download a new update just open it like you did with this one and first double-click the ie-ads-uninst.reg to clean out the last version, then double-click the new ie-ads.reg to load up the new one. That's it.

Edit: After re-reading the part about you using IE 5.5 let me be one of those that says you might want to consider upgrading to IE 6 SP1. Yeah....there are those that will offer a different opinion and that's kewl. We can then offer comments of why we individually feel one way or the other.

When you're done you will see a rather large list of sites in your Restricted Zone. Since you have nothing currently in your Trusted Zone, that will remain the same.

IE-SpyAd looks harder to use than it is. Since it adds a long list of spyware and ad sites to your restricted zone, the only thing you should confirm when installing it is that the security slider for the Restricted Zone in IE is all the way up on HIGH!

To install IE-SpyAd, download the kit from the page linked above and open it. Inside is a file name "ie-ads.reg" just double-click on that to let it "merge" all those settings into your registry automatically. That's really it until you want to upgrade it or uninstall it.

Edit: Do be aware that IE-SpyAd provides more than cookie protection. It puts over 6000 known bad sites into IE's Restricted Zone which, with the slider for that zone at High, gives maximum security in IE for those sites. (At High, IE prevents the running of any ActiveX, scripting, Java and other possibly exploitable browser functions. It's "as secure" as IE gets.)

Spybot is run as a In-Demand program once in a while to check for spi.

IE-SpyAd contains a list of bad sites and puts them into the Restricted Zone of IE for real-time protection while surfing.

I also update my Hosts file for additional protection.

One can never be too safe from spi.

Yeah, that explains it. IE-SpyAd might be a good addition for users of IE5.5 since it covers most of the source sites where these cookies come from.
Agreed ;) I fall into that same category and IE-SPYAD serves me well.

Based on one of his other posts, Jazzy1120 is using Windows 98se with IE 5.5 SP2. Therefore, SpywareBlaster's cookie-blocking feature cannot be implemented on that system.

It sounds like the items being "missed" are cookies, rather than what is usually defined as spyware, so this is probably not a SpywareBlaster or SpywareGuard issue. There are a variety of cookie-blocking techniques and programs available - it might be helpful to know what other security programs (anti-virus, firewall, etc.) are being used - many have cookie-blocking features built in ...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8745216 Wed, 10 Dec 2003 13:58:13 EDT Re: most / all spie's i get http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8745125 LowWaterMark : What browser are you using and what version is it?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8745125 Wed, 10 Dec 2003 13:48:09 EDT most / all spie's i get http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8745080 whocares : most of the spi's cookies,that are picked up by spybot & adaaware or names like "FASTCLICK,MEDIAPLEX,ADVERTISEING.Com,hitbox. just from normal broswing & adaware & spybot always get rid of them,"jaz']]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8745080 Wed, 10 Dec 2003 13:43:16 EDT Re: Spyware Blaster vs, Spyware GUARD http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8744922 LowWaterMark : SpywareBlaster stops some very specific forms of spyware, but not all. Some of the most dangerous spyware items especially for IE users are related to ActiveX controls. SpywareBlaster's most important protections are against a long list of ActiveX spyware items. These blocks should reduce the amount of spyware you get on your system, but since there are other types of spyware, you may still catch some when scanning with Spybot or Ad-aware.

The second protection in SpywareBlaster are blocks for a specific list of spyware related cookies, but these only work for IE6.

Perhaps if you told us what your scans find and clean, we can advise you what other protection or system settings would prevent them.

Difference between SpywareBlaster and SpywareGuard:
said by lowwatermark:
SpywareGuard is a resident scanner (similar in a way to how an anti-virus program works) which proactively scans files prior to them being executed; looking for spyware installation kits and such. It scans with both known signatures and some generic protection techniques to detect and prevent spyware installation. SG also includes capabilities to prevent browser hijacks and provides built-in download protection for Internet Explorer. (Note that the functionality of Browser Hijack Blaster is now included in SpywareGuard, so BHB should not be used with SG.)

SpywareBlaster is a preventative program. It sets flags in the registry to prevent the running of a specific list of bad spyware related ActiveX controls. This includes general spyware and malicious dialers. It also blocks a list of known spyware related cookies in IE6. SpywareBlaster should be run periodically, say once a week, to check for updates to its database. Other than that it doesn't need to be running to provide protection.
