| reply to wxboss Re: Your Opinion on SpywareGuard
A comparison of anti-spyware applications versus Hotbar was done here: »www.dozleng.com/updates/index.ph···pic=5275 and SpywareGuard did it's job and prevented it from being installed. It's not perfect without current updates but it is one more layer in the layered approach. -- God put me on this Earth to accomplish a certain number of things. Right now, I am so far behind I will never die. | |  TeMerc

EDIT: BTW, I have used it on 3 different boxes, one Win 98, , 2 XPs, one home, one Pro, I never hear anything unless I make changes myself(Pro box is test box, its only barked once)Its a great lil app. | |   mers2 Premium,MVM join:2004-03-20 USA clubs:

SpywareGuard used to get regular updates. I just did a cursory search and couldn't find it, but in addition to the Wilders post Javacool did state in another post somewhere that SG is at a point where it needs a total rebuild to do any additional updates. Yes, it is still a good product and still offers protection but it does need updating.
