Tedd,
I'll let you draw your own conclusions <g>

"spybloc.com" redirects to: adrevservice.com (porn server)
"spyblocs.com" download redirects to "spybloc.com"

[OP]
>" familiar with eBlocs a free spyware scanner"
See 3rd hit:
"eBlocs: Protect Your Computer and Identity" = spybloc.com
http://www.google.com/search?num=20&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&safe=off&q=eblocs&btnG=Google+Search

As for "SpyBlocs 2.0" = $29.95 (although they do offer a trial download)
I've personally never heard of them and certainly wouldn't pay $30 for it.
