I was sort of surprised to receive that result. It's like it adds sort of a
host file or something. I remembered when I had an altered host file loaded
there would be blank spaces all over the page with 'AD' in the
center....maybe for me it's an overkill with slim browser and spyware
blaster. Anyone else use spyware blaster in conjunction with slim browser?

Hmmmm. Well, I just downloaded the newest version and it has changed
considerably so I will need to have a look for a day or so to see what's
what. I have NEVER had this app keep me from surfing anywhere I darned well
wanted to. Maybe some of the sites you are trying to look at are on the
blocked list. I did have to uncheck Excite.com since both this and SpyBot
find that the site uses tracking cookies. As long as I know that, I can
just tell it not to block it. Takes some looking through the database to
find what you're getting blocked and is a simple matter of unchecking that
site. Yep, it takes some time...worth it in the long run for me, however.
If it ain't worth it for you, an uninstall is in order then.
As far as setting it up, Lionel, it looks like it takes a bit more clicks to
get where you could get in one click before and they have added an
autoupdater IF you pay for it. No biggie for me to do it manually. For
starters, I would check the link that says "Enable all Protection" and see
if you have problems reaching particular sites after that. If so, then go
through the database and uncheck those items. Make sure to do updates right
after the install as well.
