New beta and Spywareblaster

[Erik]

Today my scan came up with "searchsquire.com". When I looke
dthis up in the registry I found that it is one of many
sites that are disabled by spywareblaster. If the program
had removed the reference, I would have been unprotected.
Now I wonder, why did the new beta detect this one
reference, and not all the others? Should not hte program
be able to detect what the reference does?

My recommendation is to tun spywareblaster again after a
scan and removal of registry keys.

The "searchsquire" flag or signature is a known "false-flag".
It has nothing to do with Spyware Blaster and should be added to your
Ignore list.

Hacking your Registry is *not* recommended.
