Snip from SpyBot S&D Help
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Beginning from version 1.2, Spybot-S&D allows you to immunize your computer
against some spyware. It currently offers three different immunities:
Permanent Internet Explorer immunity
Similar to JavaCools SpywareBlaster, this allows you to tweak some internal
Internet Explorer settings to block the installation of known spyware (and
similar threats) installers. Spybot-S&D is able to set all entries for those
that are in its database to be blocked. If you want to distinguish, you should
install SpywareBlaster.
Permanently running bad download blocker for Internet Explorer
This is a second layer of protection for IE. While the Permanent Immunity blocks
installers by their ActiveX ID, this one blocks anything that should come
through by different aspects.
You can view a log of blocked installers in the Tools / Resident section.

because they almost always turn out to be -- or to be indistinguishable from
-- self-righteous sixteen-year-olds possessing infinite amounts of free time."
