This depends on what programs you're referring to. SpywareBlaster, IESpyad work silently. SpywareGuard does also, but has some alerts when changes to the system occur. MVPS hosts file works silently, but you may not be able to get to a site blocked by it, you'll get a "page not found" screen.

i have norton antivirus on the puter....AVG was one of the programs you had me install...resident shield and update are not active as directed....will there still be conflicts from these two....

No conflict.

I already have ZoneAlarm installed....but seem to have problems with my settings....is there a forum or place to go to get the proper setup..

I prefer Comodo to ZoneAlarm these days. I find it less troublesome. Our Security and Firewalls forum may be of help. ZA also has their own support forum.

which programs do i need to manually run....or is there an option that will allow me setup a scan of their own....

Please be specific about the programs you're referring to. Most freeware takes manual interaction.

last but not least.... i cannot say thanks enough times for what you have done in ridding my computer of all the problems.... all your work is greatly appreciated and unless it's me it seems like my computer is working at a faster pace when going from one website to another....
