That's up to you if want Spyware Guard loading with Windows and running in the background. SpyBot and AdAware doesn't have any "real time scanning" like Spyware Guard does, so there's no point of them loading with Windows. Personally I want as few things as possible loading with Windows and running in the background, I only had my software firewall and anti-virus loading, but I added Spyware Guard to the startup group. If it stops any tracking or spying cookies, or stops browser hijacks and toolbar installs, I'll leave it like that. However, If I start to see these things, then it's gone. -Clint
God Bless Us All Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Helene Leavitt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Elaine and Clint I am in the habit of checking for updates for Ad-aware and Spybot..which I run.. every other day..(sometimes. everyday).. but this program.. when I first mentioned it.. to everyone.. Someone said, they thought it did NOT have updates.. So thats why when I checked it yesterday, (I've been checking it every 3rd day or so).. just "because".. to see if it's actually doing anything.. LOL.. anyway, when I checked it.. I checked for updates and this time.. Yes, there was one.. So thats why I wanted to alert everyone to that.. And yes you have to remember to check it.. cause like Ad-aware and Spybot, which we're all familiar with.. this is something different. and there's nothing to tell us(to remind us) that we have it.. unless we check.. Spyguard, comes up in my start up.(to the left of the clock)..... Should I take it out of there?? cause I dont' see a reason to keep it there, as I dont' have Ad-aware there, or Spybot there?? What do you guys think? Thanks. helene HELENE ----- Original Message ----- From: "ETM" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > This one is going to require a calendar reminder.
