I have SPyware Blaster 3.4, and it doesn't ask for Smartsound > Quicktracks plugin. Smartsound Quicktracks plugin is for Premiere Pro. Just to confirm the above. I have Spyware Blaster 3.4, and have never been asked to download a plugin. I would suggest that you do a clean re-install. === Frank Bohan ? Sigmund's wife wore Freudian slips.

Updating SpywareBlaster 3.4 would bring up the Smartsound Quicktracks installation window. In my case I traced Smartsound Quicktracks to Ulead's Video Studio 9 that I have on my system. Smartsound Quicktracks is an Audio component of Video Studio that allows the addition of automatically generated background music to your Video. To be honest I don't at this point have a lot of idea how it works as I've only recently got VS9, more to the point how the two got crosslinked is even more of a mystery. Now unfortunately I can't remember precisely how I 'fixed' it but I vaguely remember either just persisting with the updates in Spyware Blaster & it came right or I uninstalled Spyware Blaster & reinstalled after a reboot.
