SpywareBlaster only works on Windows PCs. There is no Mac-compatible version (yet).
Mac users shouldn't worry, though - spyware isn't nearly as big an issue on Macs as it is on Windows.
Other Security Software:
SpywareBlaster works with most reputable security software (e.g. antivirus programs, firewalls, etc). If you're wondering if SpywareBlaster works with the combination of other security / privacy software on your machine - the answer is almost certainly yes.
