No problem, glad we could help :tazz:

No, they are different. SpywareBlaster will be a program you only need to update and enable protection for (this is to help block out bad ActiveX controls). So you just need to run their like weekly/bi-weekly for any udpates and then close it. SpywareGuard, on the other hand, will be run at startup to provide real-time spyware protection. Both of these are antispyware tools/programs. Ewido is an antivirus program, so they are different. I recommend using all if your computer can handle it. But if the real time protection is slowing down your system a lot, then I say remove SpywareGuard (but keep the others).
