| 764540 | 2009-04-13 03:06:00 | What version are you running? I heard the new version slows down your PC a LOT. I use the Real Time shield but that's about it. tbh it's not that great. Am looking for a better anti Spyware program. |

| 764541 | 2009-04-13 04:32:00 | Version 2.5.6.316 Just downloaded it so I guess its the latest. I've installed the whole thing, but turned off the Crawler Tool Bar. Havent noticed any speed difference. Only nag is when I close IE, the MS application clossure warning comes up. I changed from Super Antispyware. Still running that on my other systems. I'll leave this on for a while & see how it goes. |

| 764542 | 2009-04-13 05:43:00 | Don't use the web guard If you already have an AV. Usually your AV will cut the download instantaneously if you're downloading malware.(unless you're using Norton..:p) Most of the time the easiest way to avoid infection is not visit _____ sites. Blam |

| 764543 | 2009-04-13 05:44:00 | Nope dont use the Web Security or Crawler Tool Bar OR clam Antivirus When you set up the scanning, open the program Top right- Settings/Scan Settings ( on left) tick both boxes in the middle/top of the page. Under the settings you can alter all setting, updates, Scheduler etc |

| 764545 | 2009-04-21 01:04:00 | I've been using this for about a week now. Seems to work ok now after the changes. With the enitial scan it found several things it didn't like. Now it does a daily scan but never finds anything. Previously with Super Anti Spyware it always found something when I did a scan. My serfing habbits are pretty much the same. Does that mean Spyware Terminator is stopping nasties comming in or just not finding them. I just ran Spybot & it found 11 items. Any comments. |
