Another layer of security to consider--and it's free.I've been using it for several weeks and it installed seamlessly into my XP SP2 box.

Hi Solarian; seems quite interesting. It works fine alongside SpywareBlaster too?
It sounds like they share similar functions.Take care, and enjoy your weekend. Winter is coming; it's gettin' colder here in New England....

If it does what they claim and they follow through with the information gathered then s#&t hot. It seems to run OK so far. Maybe Justin should put it in amongst the useful security tools??? The more using it the merrier. I wonder if the ISP's will get right into it?

To answer your question: Yes, it works fine with SpywareBlaster and other utilities. I've experienced no conflicts. PrevX Home seems to work at a deeper (kernel) level of the PC.
It does, however, have a fairly large footprint, almost 6.5MBs. But I'll give the space for better security. Besides, 90% of the HDD (Maxtor 40GB) on my main box is free.
