No probs. I always have a couple of spyware progs installed and update/run them weekly. Ad-Aware, Malwarebytes and Spybot seem to be the most popular applications.

I hope they have improved their licence, it was tied to your PC for paid Pro version and support would take ages to change it if you changed PC - months, they had many disgruntled paid users in the business community and lost a lot of ground then when Vista/new computers came out. Now I just run the free version as are other alternatives and MS inbuilt Defender works.
