The problem with your suggestion is that when little Tommy voluntarily downloads the spyware file nothing can be done by "immunization" feature on Spybot S&D or SpyBlaster.

... Yes, I understand the difference between prevention and treatment.
Notice how I said to run the Spybot/Ad-Aware scanners again after installing Spyware Blaster in order to prevent a reappearance of the spyware. The problem isn't that the malicious programs in question can't be wiped, but that they come back after being wiped. Spyware Blaster and Spybot's Inoculation will prevent the programs from being reinstalled, thus fixing the problem.
