Running Spy Sweeper. Do I need Spyware Guard?
Looking to clean up some obsolete programs from my system. Spy Sweeper has been active on my system for almost a year and it works fine. I have SpywareGuard installed and it load at startup and shows up on my system tray. I opened it up and the latest version is dated 1/22/04 and there are no more updates when I run a liveupdate.

Can I dump SpywareGuard. It doesn't seem to be doing anything and it's so old that it can't be current any longer.

I'm also running Norton AV 2007 in conjunction with Spysweeper.

THanks,
Jerold

is the MS firewall in WinXP Pro enough?

I also think I have the firewall setup on my router. I have to check though.
