I am running Netscape dialup (owned by AOL) for a ISP and also have spybot, adware, zonealarm,and symatec antivirus and spyblaster. I noticed that Spyblaster had 65 items with protection disabled for Internet Exployer(but I don't use IE), and I can't enable protection, so I suspect Spyblaster has been infected. All protection is up to date and scanned yesterday. My computer did a auto XP update last night.
Is Spyblaster invected with something?
 
You mean SPYWAREBLASTER? I assume...

I would DL a fresh copy, , uninstall the old one, install the fresh downloaded one, and retry to enable protection...

possible corrupted files in use, or IE in use, which may hamper protection, aswell as PERMISSION settings of the REGISTRY or another program protecting the REGISTRY...
