    Hello.
    Resident SD helper: A BHO (Browser Helper Object) will integrate into your Internet Explorer browser and block your browser from downloading bad programs from known malware sites.

    It is a good idea to use the following in addition:
    • SpywareBlaster
    • IE-SPYAD


    Please see:

    Hope that helps.
