Vista Ultimate is my OS at the moment but I will be upgrading to Win 7 very shortly. I checked in my control panel and I do have Windows firewall so I guess I am protected in that area.

I am not aware of any issues in doing so. :)
Good. I did not think there were and I have had no trouble thus far.
You said in your previous post that you can have as many adware, spyware malware programs as you like. With the ones I have at the moment, as I have described, do you think I am short in any other department?
In other words, are there any more of these programs that I could do with as extra protection? If so, what are other good recommendations? Or, am I okay as I am?

Not sure what you mean, what wouldn't be a problem, updating the programs?
I think I may have my wires crossed here. Perhaps you can tell me if I have.
Because I do not have the paid version of Spywareblaster or Spybot S&D, I regularly update both and this is not a problem. What I thought you meant by "one resident real-time protection" was having one anti-spyware program that was paid for so this one stayed on all the time and did not need to be updated manually.
Am I barking up the wrong tree here and missing something???
I did not mean I have a problem updating them. Can you see what I was trying to say now?
I also regularly immunise after updating using your product. Am I doing the right thing here? I also regularly scan using your product as well. Your product, in my opinion is brilliant. I just want to learn to use it properly. :bigthumb:
I have not read this information thoroughly yet. Just shows you how novice I am. What is “teatimer”? Will it all become apparent once I have read the URLs you have put here?
Please help me out as you can see what a confused bunny I am regarding this. :confused:

I'll have to link Wendykins to Registry Cleaners, not recommended <http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=30038>
I have to be honest here. I have always been told by knowledgeable people as yourself not to use Registry cleaners. For years I heeded this warning because I was so scared of ‘em.I have read some of the articles from URL's on this Website (and others) and I have yet to see a bad word said against CC cleaner or adverse effects it has caused.
I actually took the plunge and the risk a little while back, downloaded and used this product for the first time. The reason for this was that I was so desperate to clean my computer up because it slowed down to such an extent.
Yes I tried all the other ways, I regularly defrag etc etc but this just did not do anything substantial to help my machine. The very first time I used CC cleaner, I noticed a significant difference in the speed up of my machine. On top of that, I always save a backup of the registry each time I use it and these backups are stored safely in a folder if I need them.
Can you tell me any other ways you can clean up your computer and speed it up without using a software product such as I have just mentioned? If there are those programs out there, then I would like to know and then I would not need to use a registry cleaner.
Cheers :thanks:

So much to read, so much the learn
Hi tashi,
Looks like I have a bit of reading up to do then. Sound advice from you which I appreciate. If I get stuck anywhere I can always ask a question in here. :bigthumb:
There is one other question I would like to ask.
I do not know whether it is me or whether the happens to other people as well. If I have downloaded a new program from wherever, before I open it, I always scan it first with MSE and then S, S&D. The Malware scan usually takes seconds before it states "nothing found". The Heuristic scan on the other hand on some occasions seems to take an age to complete. On some, it can take up to half an hour and still there is no completion and it is still stating that the scan is "queued." Is this normal? Should I be doing something differently?
Thanks for all your support with my previous questions. :thanks:
Wendykins
