Sean,

Those weren't my words, they were a quote from SpywareBlaster.
SpywareBlaster only runs when you open it.

From SpywareBlaster HELP:
[[SpywareBlaster is the original anti-spyware protection solution!

Developed in 2002 to help users prevent spyware installs, SpywareBlaster
pioneered the effective use of prevention techniques to reduce or greatly
eliminate spyware-related problems, as well as problems related to other
unwanted software such as dialers, browser hijackers, and adware.

Today's SpywareBlaster is greatly enhanced - protection is still the
foremost purpose of the program, but it also provides unique utilities like
the exclusive "System Snapshot", and various useful tools. The interface has
been upgraded to provide easier access to all of the new options, including
Restricted Sites Protection, and Mozilla/Firefox Protection.

Enabling SpywareBlaster's powerful protection is easy:
1.) Open SpywareBlaster
2.) Click on the "Enable All Protection" link under Quick Tasks on the main
screen.
3.) Exit the program - you're done!

SpywareBlaster does not need to remain open for its protection to be active!

Simply use the Check for Updates feature at least once a week to download
the latest protection (or consider AutoUpdate). ]]

SpywareBlaster loads a bunch of info into the registry.

I use all of these:

1) CWShredder direct download:
http://216.180.233.163/~merijn/files/CWShredder.exe

2) SpywareBlaster
http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html

3) Spybot S & D (More for the advanced user)
http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?lang=en&page=download

4) HijackThis (some other stuff that may be of interest also)
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html

4a) HijackThis (direct download)
http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.zip

5) Bazooka Adware and Spyware Scanner v1.13
http://www.kephyr.com/spywarescanner/index.html?source=appvisit

6) ToolbarCop
http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/toolbarcop.htm

7) Ad-aware
http://www.lavasoft.de/support/download/

Make sure you UPDATE every program, even if you
just downloaded it. You must have the latest updates. Without updates,
you have a gun without ammo.

None of these programs run, unless you open them.
Obviously you can ask questions here, but help yourself, look through
the help in whatever program you download.
 
this is very important and my appreciation for your posting it is
boundless!!
