Hi Yardbird (in particular) and list I am also interested in the answers to Yardbird's questions. Renette -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Yardbird Sent: 11 June 2008 13:49 To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Super anti Spyware in combination with other such Chris, I'm definitely interested in installing Super Anti Spyware, but I'd like to be sure the array of anti spyware stuff I'm using doesn't involve any conflicts or redundancies. So here's the situation, and thanks to you or anyone who can confidently advise me on this: 1. I have Spyware Blaster installed, as I have for a long time. But it seems that when I go to update it weekly, it very seldom has any updates available, whereas it used to offer them frequently. I don't know whether this is okay or whether it may have become useless or been abandoned by its providers. Anyone know? 2. I set up Windows Defender some months ago. I forget how I did that, and I forget how it works and what kinds of other anti spyware software it might conflict with. I assume it's doing something or other. 3. I recently installed AVG Free Edition Version 8. In the report that appears after a virus scan, there are now a couple of lines reporting on what spyware it caught and disabled, if any. So far, it always register zero on these lines. Does this mean it's got the capability but isn't catching anything? Or does it mean that spyware only works in the paid version, but they left these lines in the scan report for the free edition for no functional reason? Finally, of course, if I were to install super anti spyware, would it conflict with anything listed above instead of complementing their efforts? Thanks. Hope this is clear. Having uninstalled my trusty old AdAware v. 1.06, I'd like to again have something that actually showed it was catching and disabling some spyware. If Windows Defender is working, it doesn't seem to have an interface or a way to see if it's really accomplishing anything, and AVG 8 has those spyware lines in its report but seems to have done nothing at all, and Spyware Blaster seems to have been abandoned by its makers, though I can't tell if this impression is accurate. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Hallsworth" <christopherhallsworth71@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, May 25, 2008 11:27 AM Subject: Re: Not to mention AdAware, too Hi Yardbird, why not give Super Antispyware a try. Fully accessible out of the box. Go to www.superantispyware.com and download the free edition, which should be enough if all you want to do is manually scan for spyware and check for updates. The Professional (shareware) edition provides real-time protection, automatic updates, scheduled scanning, and more. Hope that helps. -- Chris Hallsworth E-mail: christopherhallsworth71@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx MSN: ch9675@xxxxxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: "Yardbird" <yardbird@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, May 25, 2008 7:10 AM Subject: Re: Not to mention AdAware, too > yep.
