I don't trust that program because of where it comes from.  Oddly 
enough, I also don't know anyone else using it, nor do I hear much about 
it.  I'm not saying don't, but there are quite a few free ways to 
protect yourself that are proven.

Firewall: Comodo, Zone Alarm (getting bloated)
Antivirus: clam, antivir(?), AVG (bloating up), and others
Spyware: Spybot Search&Destroy, CCleaner,
Uninstaller: Revo (gets rid of everything)


What we do at work on a large scale is to get a system running perfectly 
on one computer, `clone' it, and put a copy on another disk partition. 
This way when Windows gets gummed up or fails (and it will), you can 
restore it to `new' via the cloned image.  You can also keep the image 
externally - whatever works.

Look up Clonezilla.  It's an open-source free system to help you do 
this.  I'm pretty sure it's linux-based but very friendly.  My Windows 
coworkers use it.
