Thanks dw226! I would be full of malware programs if I included this one, too!! Don't know it - is it complementary to the others or does it have a speciality like CWShredder?

Ray Peate - it doesn't "run" as a program - it adds a list of restricted sites to IE. I use it and it really blocks a lot of "garbagy" sites. ie-spyad

My only concern is that it still allows access to the Restricted sites. I'm hoping that it kills all the malicious things at the site.

Well, actually I believe those two programs are different. SpywareBlaster, as I understand it, prevent downloading bad Active X controls, whereas IESpyad puts entire sites in the Restricted Zone.
