Title: [ Resolved ] No Problems Here- Just a couple ?? to ask.
Post by: ckiwi on July 21, 2010, 01:10:49 AM
I installed Avast 5.0.594 to my fathers Window XP a week ago and things are working great. I noticed today he has Spybot Search and Destroy and Adaware 2007 on his desktop. He says, he never uses them, so should we uninstall them? He also has Malwarebytes, which I said is good, and I am suggesting SuperAntiSpy-free, as I have read many times these work well with Avast. I have Avast 5.0.594 with MBAM and SuperAnti-free on my Windows Visa-Business for about two weeks now and all is in beautiful working order. Thank you.
One more, I checked out my Shields today and noticed, Mail and P2P have no traffic history, as the others do, is this OK. Notepad says generated automatically, with todays date and are running? Thanks again for the easy/support instructions on, uninstalling and installing Avast. When I read in the forums, about others troubles/problems/virus's, I wonder if mine is really working. lol.

if you have malwarebytes and superantispyware then you don`t need spyboot and ad-aware so i would remove them

Mail and P2P have no traffic history,
that is normal if you dont use any p2p program
The mail shield depends on how he read the mail ? If he use webmail, then there is no mail scan...

Sorry Pondus, I got someone to e-mail me and it went thru. I was reading a thread by Sam22, who had trouble with his mail and I was ready to follow the link sent to them. Thanks for getting back to me. Have a nice night/day. It's 5:17pm here. lol.
