SpywareBlaster stops all forms of pop-ups, and spyware from attacking your system. It does this in real time similar to how a firewall acts. I have not actually had to use it as I am not a fan of IE, but it does check Firefox/Mozilla as well.

Thanks for letting us know about this spyware application. I just read a review of it and it seems pretty good for being free. Here is the review if anyone is interested. I'll be downloading it and trying it out soon.
