-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Quick question on Reg Keys???

<snip>"When I tried to close Spysweeper it ask am I sure, The following are 
Active: Browser Home Page Shield, Memory Shield, I couldn't find how to remove 
them so I closed and rebooted and run Spysweeper again and didn't find anything 
but got the same when I tried to close it. Do you know what is 
happening?"</snip>
If you click "yes" after getting that message asking if you are sure, it will 
close the program. If you click "no", then minimize the program, it will be 
minimized to your system tray and stay running.  If you leave it running in 
your tray, it will alert you if it detects something on your system and ask if 
you want to "scan now" to remove the offender. It takes about 30 minutes to 
scan my system so I don't usually want to interrupt what I am doing to stop and 
scan, so I choose to scan later. Also, it will alert you if your IE homepage is 
being changed and will ask you if you want to allow the change or keep it set 
to your page. If you have closed the program instead of minimizing it, you 
won't get these alerts. (The program will still pick up the offenders when you 
choose to run a scan, it just won't interrupt whatever you are doing to tell 
you about them and ask if you want to 'scan now". )

Question for all - I have SpySweeper, Nortons, and SpyBot S & D installed right 
now and when I do a full scan with any of them it takes about 30 minutes. Is 
there anyway to make a scan skip certain folders that I know don't need to be 
scanned like my Adobe Photoshop files which take forever to run through? If I 
scan with everything, then reboot and rescan, the whole process would take at 
least 3 hrs. Can't spend 3 hrs a day scanning the pc - is there anyway to speed 
this up?
