Hi Martin, Sounds to me like paranoia. You have too many Spyware programs running at once. Settle on just one to run resident, and scan with the others periodically.

Hi list: Using windows xp sp2 with system access and avg anti virus and spyware pro, with windows defender and spyware blaster installed and running, when I try to install Microsoft updates some updates install but others do not. I have tried downloading with AVG not installed, and with parts of it disabled. should I disable some of the other anti spyware progs too? I am trying to install these updates and things are getting rather frustrating here. any help gratefully received. Hope to hear from you soon. From Martin.
