Hi and welcome to Wilders. Yes, SpywareGuard does work with Firefox 1.0 and No, u cannot use SpywareGuard to manually scan your computer.

Spyware Guard is *one* type of anti-spyware, that watches in the background, silently, and requires no user intervention. You'll need more than one program for your anti-spyware, most people are using at least 2 and maybe 3, I think I currently have about 4.

You can't have more than one antivirus program because the way they work, they'd get in each others' way, but it's pretty much normal to have more than one anti-spyware program.

The most recommended are Lavasoft's Ad-aware, and Spybot Search and Destroy, and Spyware Blaster. Those all have free versions. You can also get Pest Patrol, which is only about $20 USD.
