Hi indicarol,
Who said to install Spyblaster? Spyblaster is a Rogue/Suspect Anti-Spyware
Products. It put that crap there and then tries to goat you to buy it!
Don't buy it!
Rogue/Suspect Anti-Spyware Products - "Rogue/Suspect" means that these
products are of unknown, questionable, or dubious value as anti-spyware
protection. Some of the products listed on this page simply do not provide
proven, reliable anti-spyware protection. Others may use unfair, deceptive,
high pressure sales tactics and false positives to scare up sales from
gullible, confused users. A very few of these products are either associated
with known distributors of spyware/adware or have been known to install
spyware/adware themselves.

Spybot - Search & Destroy can detect and remove spyware of different kinds
from your computer. Spyware is a relatively new kind of threat that common
anti-virus applications do not yet cover. Scan, detect and remove malicious
software (spyware, keyloggers, dialers, Trojan Horses, etc.

SpyWareBlaster doesn't scan and clean for spyware - it prevents it from ever
being installed.
