Reviews say Javacool Software SpywareBlaster is pretty good at blocking spyware from getting into your computer, but it's not a removal tool and can't detect malware that's already on your computer because there is no scanner. You must remember to frequently update online to maintain effectiveness (the updates aren't automatic unless you pay $10 per year). User reviews are generally pretty realistic -- the scores are high on Download.com, but even some of the highest ratings specify that SpywareBlaster ought to be just one element in your collection of security software.
Professional reviews are scarce for Javacool Software SpywareBlaster 3.5.1. CNET's editors weigh in with a blurb on their Download.com website, but more informative are the approximately 50 written user reviews there. We found a professional review on the U.K.'s Web User of an older version of SpywareBlaster.
