Ok quick update:
AVAST: Installed, updated, running, registered.
Spybot S&D: Installed, registered: Dont have to update?
Spywareguard: Found download site, downloaded, installed, updated and running
Sygate: Was NOT installed for some reason, went to site, downloaded, installed and tried to update - it sent me to symantec homepage for a systems check, said I have pretty good security but that my adobe reader 8 is putting me at risk for some reason in several areas. Wondering if Sygate doesnt have an update site of its own? I did remove my Norton Security, man it asks me a ton of questions (the AVAST) for user decisions.. not sure if I did everything right, I just allowed it to do whatever it asked.
Is there a sygate update page it should direct me to for an update? Rather concerned about that..
Should I be?
Spywareblaster: Downloaded, installed, Do I have to update this one? Do I have to register this one.. doesnt seem to ask me anything, just installed lower right hand corner of the screen. (Do I need to do anything to update it or what?)
Versiontrackerpro: Downloaded and installed. No Icon on taskbar. Dont know how to use.
would be nice to get update for drivers doesnt have a user manual with it.
PCPITSTOP: wouldnt let me scan, active X controlles disabled from installation of ??? cant remember seriously.. It was one of the above.. I havent a clue.
How am I doing?
Pretty safe?
Any suggestions, directions or improvements for me at this point short of buying something like a new machine thats fully protected already! LOL
Is there a program that isnt very expensive that you really think I should and would prefer that I have for security, maintenance, etc? That you would recommend/ or would purchase yourself if I were you? .
You guys are the best..
I know they put me down to a junior poster, but years ago I use to post here alot and help out if you can imagine that, when my brain wasnt the way it is now.. I feel like a child honestly. To be back in the saddle and at square one all over again after all those years of work to learn and everything. and cant remember squat before my accident.. Although unfortunately I cant forget the accident! Its absolutely haunting! I have the hardest time learning new things now and I use to seek out new things. I have an impossible memory. I am constantly hitting a wall. Had it on my mind and its gone, had a list in my head and cant remember what I had left to download, to install, to update.. these things use to be nothing. Now its terminally tring and exhausting litterally. I kid you not.
I cant tell you how much your help, directions, brainstorming between one another has comforted me ... Eternally grateful and most likely will be back for help (unfortunate but that is what it is for me now)
From the depths of my heart I thank you and await your replies.
