The program installs with real time protection and automatic updates but then after two weeks these functions turn off. However the scanner will continue to work and you can click on the updates button to manually do the updates. I have performing weekly scans since I wrote this review in September of 2005 and I still think it is an excellent program. If you get spyware cookies, I highly recomend SpywareBlaster which I have also reviewed on my site.<BR/><BR/>GeorgeGeorgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07268682574845112095noreply@blogger.com
