Spyblaster scan option?

[Kryptonite]

i've been using spybot for years but read somewhere that spyblaster someone how a better program so i installed it on my new laptop with Vista 64 Homr Premium Media edition.

Spyblaster installed with no problems that i can tell but there is no active "SCAN" button as i see on thier website. In fact the window doesn't look like window in their video. Does anyone know this product? If so how do i activate that scan window?

It  blocks incoming spyware and adware

You don't scan with it. You just update it once a week or so and that's it. It adds known bad sites to your Hosts file so the bad content on them will be blocked.

You did download this right? SpywareBlaster

Yep, this looks like the spyblaster that's on my computer. i'm not at that computer now but my recollection is that in the help file it has a link to a video which shows a different window with a "scan" button similar to spybot which if i understand how that one works it's monitoring while on the internet and has a scan button also which removes cookies and temp files.

i won't be back at that computer until Monday so i'll have to check it again at that time.

Back at the computer i can see that it's the correct program installed. When i did a search to find a help page i cam up with this
hxxp://www.spyblaster.com/ which is a different program.
They say it's only marketing....right!
