You can put a shortcut in your START folder so it automatically starts = up every time you boot your system, effectively reminding you to update = it and apply protection. Or, if you have your system on 24/hrs a day (as do I), you can set your = scheduler to run it every so often and that, too, will remind you. But, = you still have to manually hit the UPDATE button on it and you still = have to manually hit the APPLY PROTECTION button on it. Now... what I do is I have a folder on my desktop with a shortcut to = every program I need to run for maintenance on a regular basis. So, my = 'security' folder contains a shortcut to Ad-Aware, Spybot, = SpywareBlaster, and Norton AV. My AV automatically runs a scan = every-so-often, but I like to do it manually as well so I can be = double-sure that the scan is even taking place. ---Troth -----Original Message----- From: pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx = [mailto:pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of cristy Sent: Tuesday, October 18, 2005 6:53 PM To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: -=3DPCTechTalk=3D- Re: can someone try this?? ive had spyware blaster for a long time too, but forget to start it up = alot,=20 it wont start up on its own will it, I did not think so.
