Those of you that are running it, do you use the web security part as well.

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.

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.
