You're welcome. Glad to help. Evidently, MSE would replace WD, MB, and SASpy... No. You want a single anti-virus program, but multiple anti-spyware programs. I wonder if I should select either AVIRA or AVAST (free versions) since I would like to keep WD, MB, and SASpy... Keep all three regardless of which anti-virus you choose. I am using MCAfee's firewall at present, but will revert To Vista's FW on removel of McAfee's products. Regarding unistalling McAfee's Security Centre, I intend to use McAfee's Uninstall tool (part of the suite). Is this sufficient. Any commments welcome. Thanks A -- anon_private Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP (Windows Desktop Experience) since 2003 Please Reply to the Newsgroup I will keep all three. Now for the difficult choice of which anti-virus programme to choose from the list of three. Best wishes A -- anon_private Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com
