kpgumbo Posted July 1, 2009 ID:94938 Share Posted July 1, 2009 hi all, i installed spywareblaster today after reading a few topics on it on this site.during the download from one link i had to shut the box down as it frooze.then i tried another link and it down loaded fine but while surfing afterwards i noticed that it was really slow to access some sites and would'nt load at all. i then uninstalled spywareblaster thinking this would fix my problem, but it did'nt. for a few sites i get "oops this link appears to be broken" any idea's ?i ran malwarebytes and the logs are clean.any advice would be great. thanks kev Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yardbird Posted July 1, 2009 ID:94939 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Hi Kev! While your waiting, for any other replies, ideas, ect... I would re-boot your pc and do an AV scan. Let us know how the reboot went & if the scan was clean please....EDIT: something to look over Security Software Updates: http://www.malwarebytes.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=3835http://www.malwarebytes.org/forums/index.p...t=0&start=0 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

yardbird Posted July 1, 2009 ID:94948 Share Posted July 1, 2009 OK kev! check out the two links above, I would have to download the program to see how it works here. Your mbam is clean you stated. Just check your AV. I see that on the 2nd link we have some users that have more experience with spywareblaster than I do. Maybe they can address your post.

yardbird Posted July 1, 2009 ID:94953 Share Posted July 1, 2009 cookies seem to follow everyone everyplace! I can't reproduce the problem you are having. Whats your browser? and OS? and isp is dsl/cable?I have the program now & I may keep it? Did you download it from Cnet? It may be an isolated issue. If its still going on? I can get someone to look at your top post..after the reboot, and AV scan, are the pages loading ok now? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpgumbo Posted July 1, 2009 Author ID:94956 Share Posted July 1, 2009 i'm using ie8 a dell notepad. after about an hour after reboot i think every thing is running good again. i downloaded it from the majorgeeks link. i had tried cnet first but my box went crazy and then frooze. this happened the last time i downloaded from cnet too. i guess that site does'nt like me. mabye i'll just leave spywareblaster as things were all great before i downloaded it. thanks for having a look anyway and i'll let you know if the scan finds anything else !!!! bed time here !!!

yardbird Posted July 1, 2009 ID:94957 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Well we got the preliminary av & mbam scans out of the way. (a chkdsk & defrag is up to you). I'll pm one of the users here to look at your post. Who has been using spywareblaster more than me (which is 1 hr. now I'm using it with no probs.)So check your post here later/or next day ..they may be an idea form another user. Good luck. regards...

YoKenny1 Posted July 1, 2009 ID:94961 Share Posted July 1, 2009 kpgumbo, I don't see what operating system and service pack level you are running on the Dell nor its specifications as to CPU type and speed and how much RAM the system has. I have a real old XP Home SP3 with P4 2.4GHZ CPU and 512MB RAM that 32MB the video adapter uses and it runs SpywareBlaster fine but it takes IE8 about 15-20 seconds to open to Google home page but each tab opens quite fast after that plus I have 6MB DSL connection that makes surfing quite fast. I would clean out IE's Temporary Internet Files (TIF) with CCleaner and if you have not done a defrag in a while then it might help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpgumbo Posted July 1, 2009 Author ID:94963 Share Posted July 1, 2009 sorry kenny, im using xp, sp3, inspiron me051,processor 1.60ghz, 1.60 ghz 760mb ram.i used ccleaner a few weeks back.so ill give it another go now. thanks for having a look.

d4rkn1ght Posted July 3, 2009 ID:95346 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Hi kpqumboThere's a known incompatibility between SpywareBlaster and Internet Explorer 8. Omitting the technical details, this has to do with the fact that SpywareBlaster enters a whole lot of Restricted Sites into IE's settings, and that is messing up Microsoft's new technology in IE. Go to Microsoft Update and make sure you're all up to date. A recent update by Microsoft should have fixed the problem.If it all still doesn't work, Download: DelDomains.inf - Right-click and select: Save Target AsTo use: right-click and select: Install (no need to restart - there is no on-screen action)This will delete all the sites in IE's Restricted Sites.Hope your problem gets fixed!Best Regards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
exile360 Posted July 3, 2009 ID:95347 Share Posted July 3, 2009 It's fully compatible now as long as you've installed the latest Rollup Update from MS for IE8 via Windows Update. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
