I notice that using Firefox with Spybot allows spyware through whereas it gets blocked when I use IE.

Are there settings or special updates to correct this?

I addition SpywareBlaster has an option for Mozilla/Firefox to "Prevent ad / tracking cookies". See Zenobia's (http://forums.spybot.info/member.php?u=145) comments in the last post in the following thread:
