Internet Explorer Protection

SpywareBlaster's Internet Explorer protection provides two main options:

Prevent the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, dialers, etc. Blocks the installation of spyware, adware, dialers, browser hijackers, and other potentially unwanted ActiveX-based software.
Prevent spyware/tracking cookies Blocks cookies that may be used to track your activities, build a profile about your habits, collect information, or uniquely identify you to advertisers.

The first option works with all versions of Windows, and all versions of Internet Explorer. It is recommended that all users select the first option.

The second protection option is only available for systems with Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher. On systems with an earlier version of Internet Explorer, the "prevent spyware/tracking cookies" option will be unavailable.
