Should Spybot Search & Destroy and Adaware also only be run in safe mode? Just curious. Thanks.

I shut down Restore when I run any cleaning program. Some of them require that you have Java and ActiveX working for the program to function properly.

As soon as I am done with the program, I again disable Java and ActiveX.

Then I do a Search for files created and another for files modified during the time I was cleaning.

This gives me an idea of just where the programs were working.

Anytime you run a cleaning program. Shut the PC down and run it again. Two times is always better than once. When a program changes your system, if you power down and then restart, the cleaning program is looking at a fresh system to clean.
