SpywareBlaster v3.1
I have no affiliation with this software, other than I've used it for some time now. This prevents you from being hit with a lot of spyware out there. And it's small, and easy, it doesn't run in the background, and it works. This does NOT clean your system if you are already infested. So...
After cleaning your system with the various tools you can find out there, like the popular and free AdAware (regular) and Spybot Search & Destroy, (HijackThis, CWShredder, etc.) you run this to keep it from coming back.
This tool runs once (you re-run it periodically to get updates but that's it). I believe it sets up system security for browsers to block the sites, but honestly I'm not sure exactly how it works, I just know it does. The nice thing is it doesn't stay 'resident' using up your memory or slowing you down, or causing conflicts, etc. It's worked well for me, on a number of systems I've tried it on.
Yes, it Works with both IE browser/frontends & Mozilla Firefox.
You owe it to yourself to try this program out--if you haven't used it before. If you have, check out the updates, it's really nice.
You can learn about this and other tools at spywareinfo.com, as well as other places.
