Description of SpywareGuard (formerly Browser Hijack Blaster)

Your browser is just that: yours. The last thing you want is to have someone else take it over. This program watches several components of Internet Explorer to make sure no one hijacks your browser or tries to slip spyware into it. If an invader does attempt to change your IE's home page, default Page, or Search Page, SpywareGuard will let you know. The program also keeps a database of known values common to spyware programs; when possible, it gives details and specialized instructions for shaking loose the leeches.

Note: this program worked on our test machine; however, the author warns that the program is a work in progress.
