Spyware Blaster "Custom Blocking" Update 06/08/04
A slight tweak but a change all the same.
For those of you that are uncomfortable editing the file, disable protection for the one item discussed. http://forum.aumha.org/viewtopic.php?t=7106 Silj -- siljaline MS - MVP Windows (IE/OE) AH-VSOP ________________________________ Security Tools Updates http://forum.aumha.org/viewforum.php?f=31 (Reply to group, as return address is invalid - that we may all benefit) |

It's not immediately evident, but if you close and then reopen SpywareBlaster, the status for IE will show one item has protection disabled. It should work okay if the item is disabled in the custom block list first, and then the update is applied to the main application, since the CLSID is only written once to the registry. I suspect though that even with this approach, the item will be renabled in the custom block list when the protection is applied in the main application. I'm not able to test it with the update already applied. Anyway, to make a long story short, unless you edit the item from the custom block list, it's probably better to just keep it enabled. Tom |

Tom Tom, Thanks for the feedback, there is no really comprehensive guidelines currently for correctly adding / editing the custom block list. I, too, question the correct manner to perform this task. As the custom blocking method order to maintain full inoculation would be to keep all CLSID's blocked, in the main database and in the block list. I will be posting more information as this is further understood and continues to evolve.
