Spywareguard is supposed to show in the taskbar or no ? win Xp, also

I dont see it in my task bar and when i double click it or run it thru the start menu it still doesnt pop up in my task bar. Should it be there ?

2 . I have norton internet security 2004 , anti-virus ,spam,popup killer , although i disabled norton firewall and use zone alarm.

should all these work together ?

3. If spywareguard works in the background without being in the taskbar then how do i disable if i dont want it to work ? I am guessing thru msconfig ..

Thanks in advance for any replies i get here it will be very helpful..

 

Hi Corey ...
1. I use WinXP also - Spywareguard is on my taskbar. You might want to uninstal it and download it again. It is possible your initial download did not complete.

2. I use ZoneAlarm Pro for a firewall and am quite happy with it so far. I used to have Norton but my subscription expired so I did not bother to renew. Unless there is reason to believe there is a conflict between the programs you installed but if they are running well, then there is no problem. I would also recommend that you add Ad-Aware and Spybot in order for you to scan your computer for any spyware on a regular basis. Another addition I recommend is SpywareBlaster. After you do the downloads, be sure to check for updates immediately. I have these programs and they all work well together ... no conflicts.

3. Why would you want to disable this program. It protects you. Also, be sure to check for updates on a regular basis. It only uses 1.52mb .. not something to worry about.

I hope I have been helpful.

 

I had similar problem that corey described. Not only SG icon not showing but slow and jerky mouse pointer movement, slow respond applications. Tried all the possible uninstall/install to no avail. Finally decided to get rid of it and for good, and rolled back to a previous restore point. Now my xp is normal

 

Thanks. you are right. I had similar problem with SpySweeper. And spykiller2003 gave me no chance to try it (0 days left) on the very first install.It seems my system is rejecting Spy proggies

 

After having problem with NOD repeat-update to the same file

and with Pieter_Arntz help Finally NOD works perfectly. Today I remembered my post ->this

and thought that the problem could be the same spyware, so decided to re- install SpywareGuard2.2 and surprizingly the installation and the update went smooth. So, it was that nasty spyware!!!!!!!!
Now I have SpywareGuard2.2 installed for the first time
Thanks again Pieter_Arntz
