Spybot's immunization vs Spyware Blaster

[oxfordwebdesign]

I was wondering how does Spybot's immunization compare against SpywareBlaster? Is it better? Worse?

They do the exactly the same job just that Spyware Blaster has far more protections in the basket. I cannot posts of exact numbers of immunized items as they change daily, but it comes down to just being more Restricted Sites, Active X "Kill Bits" and cookie blocks in Spyware Blaster than in Spybot SD.
It also has the option to select/deselect all of these individually, which Spybot doesn't do in its Immunize.
This is primarily due to Spyware Blaster doing nothing else but immunizing the system, so they concentrate on these items and also differences in what both groups see as important and believe should be blocked.

Neither is really 'better' than the other, they are complimentary, which is why many people use both.
