I absolutely love SpyBlocker for filtering ads, worms, cookies, etc. but while it is installed on my machine, it does not allow me to use hyperlinks!

I proved it was Spyblocker by uninstalling it, and using a Restore Point before Spyblocker.. the links came back.

very annoying, especially since it keeps me from buying anything online (the link comes up as a blank window!)

using search engines, I have to cut and paste the URL, since the link leads to a "page not found" window..

anyone else had such a problem?

Check in the \Windows\Hosts file that SpyBlocker installs.
The URL of the web site you are trying to visit is most likely there.
You can also turn on logging, visit the site, and then view the log to see what was blocked.
Then use the SpyBlocker facillity to edit the Hosts file.
