With this in place, dropping an executable file into its window lets you see or hear the resources the program uses (eg. icons, dlls ). These can be saved as separate files, changed or removed.

Instead of waiting for spyware to get in and then removing it, this approach protects your system by stopping it getting there in the first place. SpywareBlaster doesn't scan and clean for spyware - it prevents it from ever being installed. It only targets items used by spyware and browser hijackers to embed themselves into your system.  Detects changes and additions and alerts them. Provides a list of changed/added items - so the user has full control over what will be restored. 
 Blaster covers hundreds of items - including the most popular areas altered by browser hijackers and spyware, as well as many currently un-tapped areas.

There are several other ways of protecting yourself against spy attacks. For a fully integrated approach, see 'The Question of Spyware'
