    Its not supposed to do anything (well, anything obvious)
    It blocks nasties at the source, nothing more

    Everyone seems to have forgotten about spyware doctor..free version available, real-time protection and I've found it works pretty well...

    Rik - just to clarify, spyware blaster COULD block correct tracking of quidco transactions...quidco have a section on their site on how to set up this and some other products in order for this not to happen....
    ......Gettin' There, Wherever There is......

    I have a dodgy "i" key, so ignore spelling errors due to "i" issues, ...I blame Apple :D

    Oh yeah. Im well aware it CAN be set up to bypass the problem. I was simply letting people know the problem existed should they think about using it :)
