Stephen,

If you are talking about Aluria Spyware Eliminator, that was a bad choice.
This program installs adware which is known to present problems. Using
multiple spyware programs is generally ok but the more you use the greater
the chances are that you will run into conflict problems. I wouldn't
recommend more than four or five. Be sure to use programs that are known to
be safe. Read on the Internet. Pest patrol is ok and the new MS Antispyware
is fine, according to reports.
