Adaware and Spywareblaster are two different animals with different
purposes and effects. Spywareblaster won't scan for problems, it is
passive and works to immunize the system to help keep them off. The
Adaware reference file is updated regularly, though not in the past few
days. The current version is 6.181. No single program can do it all for
spyware detection and removal.
