SpywareGuard?
It has been recommended by Tech Support Guy Moderator.
Upon reading it's information on site it states.

"SpywareGuard is a work-in-progress.
We cannot guarantee that it will not conflict with other security software on your machine.
However we do strive to fix any compatibility problems that may arise."

SpywareGuard provides real-time protection. I am using avast. Any opinions or people running both have issues with compatibility?

Avast is an antivirus program. SpywareGuard is an anti spyware program. They should not conflict with each other. I have SpywareGuard on my computer but I also have Superantispyware as well.
Note: You can use more than one anti spyware program but it is not recommeded to use two anti virus programs.

SpywareGuard is of almost ZERO value because it hasn't been updated in 4 yrs and therefore that far OUT-OF-DATE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't the various assorted IDIOTS keep recommending it !!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks I recently downloaded SpywareBlaster, I just wanted some feedback on SpywareGuard from Members here since I had a concern about it conflicting with avast.
Here is the quote btw.

"5) Another brilliant program by Javacool we recommend is SpywareGuard.
It provides a degree of real-time protection solution against spyware that is a great addition to SpywareBlaster's protection method."

Thank you for your replies.

I use both avast and spywareguard and not only have I never had a conflict, but even 4 years out of date spywareguard has still kept my browser settings from being changed unexpectedly. It's a harmless program that adds an extra layer of protection. Be sure and get spywareblaster and spybot SD as well.
