Boot scan?

No, they will not usually conflict if one is set as the resident (active) scanner and the other(s) are set as on demand scanners.

As an example, I use Spybot-S&D as my resident scanner with Spyware Terminator & MBAM as on demand scanners.

Thanks CharleyO,

How does one set one as active & others on demand?

I use it daily, scheduled backup of the registry done at 12AM

Smart Indeed.

1. Why is Default first back up made in C>Windows.......Can't one give it a different path?

I know the logic of being in windows folder to access if OS fails......

2. I use it too, but the back ups are made in My Documents each day, but the default first one is in C> Windows?

3. Since am doing a clean install of Vista on my laptop when should I make the first back up?

4. Should restoration, if required be done in safe mode or normal windows mode?

Thanks.

Yes. Use the command-line options:

Whenever you want... you can do other later...

4. Should restoration, if required be done in safe mode or normal windows mode?

Normal mode... restart of the computer will be necessary.
Be sure to backup all the users data (and on Vista, use the application with elevated rights).

Spybot is the resident scanner because I have the TeaTimer (resident) active. MBAM is on demand because it is the the free version that can only be used as on demand. I have set Spyware Terminator as on demand through it's user interface.
