I'm running Spywareblaster on an XP desktop. When I use "Clear Recent History" in Firefox, it disables protection against the same 230 sites that Spyware Blaster was protecting my PC from.
Every time I use "Clear Recent History" in Firefox, I have to open "Spywareblaster" and re-enable protection against the same 230 sites that I was protected against prior to clearing history. Any ideas?

Don't remove the "Site Preferences" via Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox if you want to keep those exceptions.
I assume that you are talking about (tracking) cookies ?
You don't really need all those exceptions, but that is of course your choice.

I have the same problem -- just opening Firefox 4.0 disabled those 230 cookie protections in SpywareBlaster, I assume because I have my preferences set to clear history upon exiting Firefox. Since upgrading to FF 4.0, I have also been getting a lot of new, weird spam, but I don't know for sure that the cookie protection disabling is directly causing that. PLEASE, does anyone have a solution to this? Some people have gone back to 3.0.X versions of FF -- will that solve the problem? Should we just give Mozilla more time to work out the kinks in 4.0?
Just make sure that you do not use Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox to clear the "Site Preferences" when Firefox is closed.
Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.
