Spyware Blaster - Source file corrupt

[Evi]

I'm trying to install Spyware Blaster but all the links I've tried give the
same error - that the Source File is corrupt. I checked for Spyware using
Ad-aware (thanks) and Spybot - all was OK. I checked that VBrun 6 was
installed. No avail. Does anyone have an older version of this program?

What version did you try, and what version of OS do you have?

I'm not sure what you mean by the "Source file", so what was the error
message you got?

I know that SpywareBlaster had some problems with the database files in the
past, but those things should be fixed in version 3.5.1 (according to the
author).

I downloaded it from DownLoad.com...

....and it runs without a problem.

Here, XP Home SP2, SpywareBlaster 3.5.1 works fine.

Hi everyone, thanks for your replies. Tried again this morning using Helen's
link and everything was fine - yet I had several tries last night ...
Spyware Blaster will save the bacon of a friend whose teenage children can't
resist downloading things. They installed the music downloader Imesh on her
PC and she now has a load of Trojans slowing down her computer.

Guess my next move will be to hunt out the best way of getting rid of her
30 + variations of Trojan Horse Downloader and Trojan Horse Collected.
