Every act of prevention is proved to be worth more than any forms of curing therapy. Besides scanning your machine regularly, the spyware blaster would ensure prevention from spyware programs being installed unknowingly. There are several ways it can accomplish this task.
Most of the Spyware programs are installed by program ActiveX. Often this program is for installing additional components within the system so that the internet surfing gets optimized. A few of the ActiveX installed programs are for viewing certain media or files over the internet. However, a few of them make use of this to bring in viruses and spyware within your system.

Is there any program to automatically scan downloads as they come in… I use frost wire. way better than lim.
hey i have frostwire…i mainly only want music dowloads…. now i was wondering about my virus security since i know no p2p is safe…no need to address the lawsuit part since my country doesn’t have any laws whatsoever on anything copyrighted..I guess thats one benefit of being third world..nehows i have mcafee installed and two different antispyware programs, spyware blaster and spyware terminator..but when i download i have to manually scan these files…i would like to know if there are any neat utility programs out there that could automatically scan these downloads as they come in ..
Oh also..could mp3 files hold a virus??..they don’t install or anything… if yes by deleting the lets say 3ooo kb mp3 file get the virus off the comp.
thank u for reading this long plea for help..i really appreciate u answering this to the best of your ability.
I’ve never heard of those spyware programs. There are better solutions out there…
IF you want protection from spyware, adware, and viruses..You have 3 applications you need..
One is antivirus with a real time scanning feature. This will scan all files accessed by your computer that are being run. This will cover the viruses.
You’ll need Lavasoft Ad-adaware. It’s free and does a great job. Make sure you downloaded the personal free version…it’s at
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/
Next you’ll need spybot search and destroy..
http://www.safer-networking.org/
Grab those 2 programs and update them. They both have real time scanning features as well. Make sure you just "immunize" on spybot. BUT..unfortunately realtime scanning on adaware is only available for the purchased verison. There are probably some other free solutions out there but I haven’t bother to use any of them since adaware is the most known and recommended.
running these 3 with realtime scanning will pretty much eliminate any spyware, adware, and viruses. But I’m not a big fan of mcafe. I’m using Bitdefender atm…Kapersky antivirus is also extremely good…better imo but more resource hungry.
Keep this in mind though….Real time scanning applications DRAIN the life out of your computer. They slow it down HEAVILY since they constantly scan even file. If you plan to take this route I recommend you diable them when not browsing the net or running unchecked downloaded files. otherwise you’ll deal with slow speeds…
Hope this helps.

You only mention spyware scanners - not virus scanners. There are many free virus scanners and they all offer "real time" protection so they should detect any problems while you’re downloading. And yes MP3 files can hold a virus payload and no deleting the file won’t necessarily get rid of the virus unless it’s detected BEFORE the file is opened. You need a good virus scanner running all the time - free ones are AVG or Avast - just do an Internet search for download locations.
Just read the response from kamr00z - good advice there.
