if Spybot Search & Destroy, is worth installing? Does it chew up system resources? If not, what else is there out there that is free, and doesn't hog the system.

I was recently having some issues with my internet history and favorites about the wrong logos appearing beside the website that I posted about in another section. So I downloaded Spybot Search and Destroy to see if it was spyware but nothing was found then I did an immunilization and I checked the logos in the start menu and they went back to be the correct ones.
But what I would like to now is Spybot search and destryy safe? I've heard of fake ones that are actually spyware and virus. And where should I download it at? I was on their site but they give you a list of sites from where to download this progarm. Are all of those safe? I just would like to make sure so I don't download something that ruins my computer.

I just found this file (XMNWGVTYGPFSUWS.scr) in C:Program FilesSpybot Directory - but can't find any reference to a screensaver in the Help files. Does this file belong there?

I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium (SP2), with 2 GB of RAM, Firefox, CA Security Suite, MBAB, SuperAntiSpyware Professional, Cleaner and Spybot search and destroy on an Acer Aspire T180 desktop. All WU's are current and the machine is working just great. About 6 months ago I noticed a reduction in the amount of usable installed emory. I have 2048 MB of installed RAM in 3 slots (512 MB, 512 MB and 1024
MB-with one slot empty), but only 1792 MB of usable memory. The usable installed/unusable installed difference is 256 MB. The difference may mean that some of it has gone bad or whatever. Is there anyway to ascertain why I'm not able to take advantage of the full 2024 MB of RAM? Is it possible one of the memory sticks is not plugged in correctly or there's a dirty contact somewhere? I realize that this may be a `don't fix it if it ain't broken' situation since the computer runs just fine but if there's something I can actually do to get back the missing 256 MB of RAM that'd be nice. I'm posting this here and also at: Microsoft.public.windows.vista.performance_maintenance since I'm not sure of the correct post location.

Found this thread on another forum about problems with IE8 if you have SpywareBlaster or SpyBot installed, thought people might be interested in it. Scroll to the second post in that thread to see it.

Have been using spybot S&D for a while now on my Vista Laptop, but lately it does not fix the errors it finds. Something to do with Administrator rights.
I am the only user and the administrator.

New here, and to Vista..........Hp dv9580us laptop with lotso problems. Right now I'll settle for a few progams working right. Spybot needs to be elevated with admin rights to be fully functional? Also Iobit defrag runs once the the program starts but the box is not up, its started but no visual box?

except for a few grand issues like Search failing with special/technical searches rather than simple filename search, 85% of this OS is now great. I love it now. And can you guess how many processes show up in TaskManager? 26. ONLY TWENTY SIX. My IE8 starts up lightning fast and swings by all sites except videos, for certain sites w/FlashPlayer & Videos I enable CompatibilityView which aligns those older sites to IE8.
Applications startup as if they were already loaded into Memory, faster than in WinXP. Who knew? It feels like quad-core at 4GHz, seriously. Everything is momentary as if it were loaded from RAM This OS is still a failure, however, versus WinXP. Are you shocked to hear "failure" after my praises, do I contradict myself? No. Because most people are far from my tenacity and just by education, hobbies and profession I alway stune up things to perfection. My cheap car leaves far more expensive models wondering what rocket had just passed them on LIE Expressway. I enjoy tinkering with technology.
It took me 2 weeks (?) to tune up Vista beast to be a polished fast, bug-free beast. It's more convoluted than was tuning WindowsXP. I spent several days in Registry, GroupPolicies, SecPolicies, filesystem digging out and blatantly renaming & moving system files no one is supposed to touch.........

I've got an apparently "broken" search installation. So that I can skip through the normal "click the folder you want to index" type of answers, it's way beyond that. Let me give some background first. This is a new installation of Vista x64 Ultimate on this machine. I just installed it a little over a week ago after I got a blue screen of death that wouldn't allow any type of system restore, etc on the prior install. My prior installation on that machine was a Vista Ultimate x32 bit. The prior installation had the OS on the C: drive and I had moved "My Documents" out of a Windows XP onto the D: drive (D:My DOcuments).
In that prior installation, I left all Music, Videos, documents etc. under the original layout and just pointed the Vista "music", "documents", etc folders to the sub folders. I had no problem indexing on my prior version. I have a Vista 64 bit Ultimate at work as well and IT has no problem indexing even under the default locations..........

The new interface in Office 2007 has a great new look but finding your favorite feature can be a little difficult at first. Microsoft Office Labs offers a helpful utility called Search Commands that brings search to the ribbon. Can’t find a specific feature? Just search for it! ....

I just install IE8 on my laptop, and when it came time to set-up the search engine, I told it to use my current set-up, but I just lost the Live Search, and everytime that I try to install it back I get a weird website called BING, which feels like the Live Search site has somehow being hacked.

Read the article bellow, My own experience with windows desktop search 4 on XP was that of disgust. It sucked up 70 MB of ram with its 4 processes, Its a pile of crap like all vista inspired software.. after living on 2 of my computers for 2 days I removed it .. (I had tried the previous version too and didnt like that one either.)

My pc was configured in raid5 but I lost all the data. Since then I decided to go back to the classic drive C,D,E each by themselves. The point is that things are going slow / sometimes I try to access drive D with music and there is a significant latency in the hdd response. I can even hear the sleepy drive waking up. I might want to aim to high but here is what I dream to do.
1. I want to go back to a raid configuration in which all those hdd(i have 3x 500 sata) to work hard for me.
2. Find a way to add the fourth one in which to save important data. I case of crash to reinstall vista and all the soft without losing all my projects. I am doing video editing.
My motherboard has a sata external connector. What would you guys do with this configuration in order to set up a raid. Don t tell me trash it 'cause i won t. I paid more than 4000 bucks last year. Today might value less than 2000 ( hurts so bad). This is another reason I want to squeeze as much as possible from what I have.......

How can Vista (no router) be configured not to use TCP/IP as transport protocol for NetBIOS, SMB and RPC, thus leaving TCP/UDP ports 135,137-139 and 445 closed.The best to my understanding is that Seconfig works with WinXP only.

This message is in regards to the Wireless Zero Configuration not being fixed in SP1. This is a serious issue for multiplayer gaming enthusiasts who play wirelessly. This system causes a lag spike in games that lasts between 1-3 seconds and reoccurs EVERY 60 SECONDS. This is unacceptable! This makes playing games over a wireless connection completely unbearable!
The problem goes like this. Every 60 seconds, via Wlan autoconfig (WZC), my computer (and ANY computer using Vista and wireless connection) attempts to find the best connection. During this time period, if you're doing something intensive with your connection such as playing a game, the connection spikes and causes an intermission between your game and the server you're playing on because your connection is being temporarily interrupted. There are no options to stop WZC from doing this. Manually disabling Wlan autoconfig causes you to be shut out from connecting to the internet at all........

With Windows XP, when you ran msconfig, and rebooted, you got that box with the message about how your settings have changed, and at the bottom there was a checkbox that said something to the extent of "Do not show this message at startup".
With Vista, when you run msconfig and reboot, Windows Defender comes up and gives you a message something to the extent of "Some programs have been blocked, click here to see which programs or choose to unblock them".
But now there's no easy, evident way to not make that message seen at startup.

As youve seen from the title, its the access: local only error! I just built a rig this weekend, hours slaving over the damn beast! I cant connect to the internent, it says "access: local only", after doing a bit of googling i can see it must be a bit of a problem for vista? I can connect to the internet sometimes for small amonuts of time before im shut off! Im using a wierd connection straight into the router, have all drivers installed ect, other comps on the network can connect, just not mine I get a I am also getting "Cannot communicate with DNS server (ip)!! (Think its somthing todo with that!) I tired this Windows Vista cannot obtain an IP address from certain routers or from certain non-Microsoft DHCP servers, but didnt seem to resolve the issue! I also tried disabling ipv6 and setting the DNS in ipv4 settings! Im am at my wits end!
Code:
Windows IP Configuration
Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . :
Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Broadcast
IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No
WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No

Is there a way to grant an applicatoin the right to execute now and forever more? An app that I use 3,4,10,15 times a day triggers an UAC prompt. I understand that the app should be written in a different manner so that it does not need Admin rights. Until it is re-written, I do not want to be prompted __EVERY__ time i launch it. Is this possible?
Since I think I already know the answer (but I am wrong far more than I would like to admit which is why i am posting), Why not? and to answer the first 3 arguments against:
1) I don't care that the app should be written differently. It is not written differently now, and I need to run it now.
2) It's not really a security hole to whitelist an app(s) - UAC is still running. Firewall is still running. User is still a least priveledge account, etc.
3) i haven't thought far enough to have 3 counter arguments.
Can someone explain to MS the value in grannular configuration? 'Configure UAC' should have a few more options than Turn On / Off.
