Also, nothing is more annoying than an unnecessary resident service. That alone is enough reason to skip it. How it's done is sort of neat and damn sure resourceful (using free or trial apps). It just sounds really impractical and doesn't ensure decent protection to headache ratio. For the newbie who's absolutely clueless, why not? Not like another lower right icon is going to bug them too much. It would probably find most if not all spyware possible. Grannie would be pleased! It's just the lifesucking services (and imo) overly redundant approach, it's hard to endorse such bloat. You can run it automatically while at work though...

If it doesn't, it's still downloading a crapload of junk to scan. Superantispyware FREE edition is the way to be, imo. If it installs services, yuck.
