You just have to be careful about what you do online. If you use programs such as Limewire you put yourself at greater risk of getting it. Another common carrier, that I have found is the smilies you can get for MSN. Alot of spyware is downloaded with the user thinking they are getting smilies.

Does anti spy ware block access to web?

No it does not, If it is just an anti-spyware it will protect your computer against software that goes through your history and finds your IP address. If it is all around virus protection it will protect against spyware, malware, viruses, and more. None of these should block your Internet use. If you have software that does that you should check to see if you have a firewall first. Then if there is a firewall deactivate it and try again. If the problem persists then delete the anti- spyware completely from your computer and try again. If it still is giving you trouble call tech support for better help.
