Many Thanks,
Jumbo 1 | You shouldn't need both of those. Since SpywareGuard hasn't been updated in years, I would stay with WinPatrol.  | | | Senior Member with 119 posts. | | Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: Cheshire UK. Experience: Learning Day by Day | | Quote:

I also see a lot of references to WOT around.
What is WOT? I cursed. No-one explains.
I had a hunt and found Web of Trust. :-) http://www.mywot.com/
It is a great little add-on that displays red, yellow or green icon beside every page in a Search. It does more as well if you want.
Reputation of any site can be seen at a glance.
If you do click on a dodgy site, a pop up window asks if you are sure.
Not completely foolproof, it relies on user rating feedback to rate sites. But I think it is brilliant. | | | Junior Member with 1 posts. | | Join Date: May 2009 Experience: Intermediate |

#10 | Installing Spywareblaster As a spyware preventer it is good.
Like some registry cleaners out there, however, Spywareblaster doesn't have a high enough Certificate in its program to allow you to use it at Startup. The Vista UAC warning window will appear ever time you start your computer.
It is an excellent program for spyware, however, particularly the ability to "immunize" your system which means you don't have to run spyware scanners.
It is odd that developers don't put an adequate certificate in their programs.
Yours,

#12 | SpywareBlaster doesn't even show in the Startup entries, nor does it ask to be there in the free version. You only need the free version anyway. An update will be available once a week. You'll have to ask for it manually.
Yes, it will work perfectly with Firefox.

#15 | Hi
After reading through this thread, I installed Winpatrol and uninstalled Spywareguard.
I have a quick question, Does Winpatrol automatically update itself because I cannot find any manual way of doing it.
Regards
