[akif.kiris]

First, I want to thanks for alldevelopers,..

I was using before S&D1.3 with Spywareblaster software.
After I upgrade it to S&D 1.4, do we need still SpywareBlaster software?

Best Regards,
Akif

Hello,

We recommended Javacool's Spywareblaster to our users in the past.
But we decided against this in our new version, because it confused a lot of users,
who thought our product had been hijacked by this "advertisement".
If you want to download it you can go to their website:

SpywareBlaster has always had more total entries, by about four times, than Spybot's Immunize, which are otherwise equivalent features and have always had some overlap in protection.

Basically, the SpywareBlaster lists are simply more aggressive, so they're larger. If you agree with this more aggressive stance, you will still want to use SpywareBlaster.
