To Use SpyBot or Not To Use
I was using AdAware SE and learn that it is now disconinued. I am considering installing SpyBot.
I understand the new version 1.5.1.15 is BETA. I was told not to use BETA until all testing had finished. Anyone using version 1.5.1.15?
#1- Is it very difficult to install, set-up and work with (for a novice)?
#2- Do you have to download definitions also for SpyBot?
#3- Can SpyBot run with Spyware Blaster, NIS, AVG-AS, WinXPsp2, IE6 (AdAware maybe)?
#4- Have read something about "Tea Timer." Some posts state enable "Tea Timers;" other posts say DON'T enable "Tea Timer" because it has very bothersome pop-ups which could be very disturbing to a novice.
#5- Doesn't "Tea Timer" does almost the same thing that Spyware Blaster does (regarding IE restriction, etc.)?
Would anyone have any helpful comments for me - a novice on computers? I don't want to install something that might harm the computer or that might be difficult to install, set-up and run.

-install the 1.5.2 Release Candidate 1 (aka 1.5.1.19) here
-update it
-click immunize
-read the help section
trust me when i say you should install it and read the help section, the only things you have to do is install it and update, immunize and scan
Just when the installer is installing untick teatimer, dont install it, you dont need it anyway
try it
======================
#1- Where do we download the ver 1.5.1.19 RC1 (1.5.2) from? Is it someplace on the SpyBot S&D site?
#2- Is the Check the same as Scan?
Thanks.
