When doing a manual scan with anti spyware programmes can you continue to
work with your computer? I seem to remember seeing one of my programmes
saying wait.

TIA

You may continue working but your scan time will be slower. All in all, I
think it's better to wait. I'll start a scan just before going to bed and
let it run as long as needed.

It depends on the program.

Sound advice.

My opinion doesn't matter, but for what it's worth, I think very highly of
the program.

I've found that SAS does a pretty good job. That said, no anti-spyware
program will pick all items up. I always recommend two or more anti-spyware
programs to check a system. I also agree with your comments on review. To
be real, it has to be done "real life".
