Use at least 2 different programs so that you are protected by 2 separate

too many good free programs out there like Adaware and Microsoft's anti
spyware program. I did find Spybot to have too much overhead for VPC.
59 minutes is a bit long. Adaware does mine in under 30 minutes (6.4GB)

Thanks--I am beginning to understand the necessity of using two
different programs. The free ones, though, are usually only for personal
use. (I use my computer in my business.) Also, I didn't think
Microsoft's anti-spyware software was usable with Windows 2000?

Thanks also for the valuable Spybot information--that is the kind of
VPC-specific response I was hoping to get from this forum.

As for the slow scanning speed I got from Ewido, at least part of that
must be due to the fact that I have an old computer (PB Ti G4 667) that
is just under the specified requirement for VPC 7.0.2 (700 mH).
