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.
