Spyware Guard also by javacoolsoftware is the realtime component of Spyware Blaster.

Also, AVG 7.5free is still being updated till the end of the year.

Based on personal experience, I don’t recommend staying with 7.5. Particularly if you browse family unfriendly sites.

Also, if you read the list of sites blocked by Spyware Blaster, half of them promise Anti-virus or anti-spyware programs. The lesson there is to read reviews and choose products wisely. Legitimate anti-virus vendors do not use popups and spam.

The guys whose computers I restored got a popup message in an email telling them a virus had been detected. They clicked OK to clean it and the result was total destruction of Windows.

I don't believe that SG has been updated for a number of years now, though it's still available for download, and I'm a current user of Spyware Blaster.

So what are you saying... just use Spyware Guard? Couldn’t quite follow your point.

Am getter ready to install Spyware Blaster on my new PC. Was using it on my old one before the chip fried. Was going to install AVG again but guess I will go with AVAST now. Just want to get rid of the PC-cillan that came with this thing.
