If it's not being a resource hog, why not? Apparently Version 2.2 fixed a
lot of the resource issues earlier versions had.

I wasn't aware that the definitions haven't been updated. That's odd -
you'd think they would mention that on the the SpywareGuard page, if it's
not a currently supported product.

However, another post I found indicates that SpywareGuard is based on
heuristics, not entirely on its database, so it's possible that its
functions are still useful.

A number of people apparently run it with TeaTimer, so I'd say it wouldn't
hurt to run both. It may be that either has capabilities the other lacks.
Neither of them are entirely clear about how they do what they do.
