spyware

[Guest]

Hi,
as recomended I have downloaded free "spywareguard" but the definitions are
only up to 1/22/04 does this mean this program out of date/ redundent? also
can anybody recommend "win patrol" and does it conflict with any other spy
ware/virus programs.

Spywareguard is no longer supported.
Winpatrol is a nice little program that will inform you of any additions to
the registry,startup files, BHO's and other areas of your system.
NOTE: WinPatrol IS NOT a anti-spyware program, however if malware does get
onto your system WinPatrol will inform you about it quickly (after the
fact). Their are no conflicts that I know of.
