Carol, I forgot to take out the "...and more". I put that in and then wrote the
rest of the apps forgetting to take out the "...many more".
I didnt say I had spybot and cwshredder in the background, thats not even a feature
on it. Spywareblaster has to run in background I thought, when you minimize it it
goes hidden in the tray and it protects against stuff. Same with spywareguiard.
Antivirusgaurd does the same thing as spywareguard but for viruses. I don't use
mcafee too much and it didn't protect, it just scans so I got antvirusgaurd to protect
against incoming viruses. So let me write it out for all of you lol
I use:
1. McAfee - Antvirus scanning. (runs in background for updates and like a daily virus
scan)
2. Windows Firewall - as my firewall (runs in background ofcourse, its a firewall)
3. Spybot - To get rid of spyware
4. Adaware SE - to get rid of spyware spybot didn't get rid of.
5. Spyware Guard - to protect from incoming spyware (runs in background)
6. Spyware Blaster - to protect from incoming spyware spyware guard didn't. (runs
in background
7. CW Shredder - to get rid of those annoying toolbars that will try to take over
my internet.
8. AntiVirxp - to scan for viruses MCafee couldn't find.
9. AntiVir Guard - to protect me from incoming viruses. (runs in background
**When I say runs in background I mean when you exit the program it still works.
Like when you press minimize on spywareblaster it is still protecting you but its
not shown.
I have optimal protection however it is demanding. :'(
