No its not...it can cause problems with SpywareBlaster...as it say here by javacool to do a clean install(the creator of spywareblaster) or you can follow mine which are above:

We recommend following a clean install process.

 

If you have never downloaded the desired program before, you can skip the first four steps below (start with "Reboot").

 

If you already have an old version of the desired program:

 

    * Close the program and any related programs (e.g. SpywareBlaster? and SpywareBlaster AutoUpdate Configuration)

 

    * Open the Control Panel (click on "Start" in the bottom left corner of your screen, then click on "Control Panel")

 

    * Open "Add/Remove Programs"

 

    * Search for the program entry (e.g. SpywareBlaster) and uninstall it.

 

    * Reboot.

 

    * Before running any other programs, download the desired program (e.g. SpywareBlaster).  Download sites can be found here:

 

      www.javacoolsoftware.com/downloads.html

 

    * Run the installer.

[Which is the fastest FF surfing tweak?]

Do some research on that extension. I have heard that a lot of sites are going to start blocking people who use it because its basically costing them more bandwidth.

Dont feel like doing any research thank you, unless you post some links for me too read. Well I think FasterFox is a great extention and is better then FireTune this doesnt have too apply too you.

[EZantivirus]

Norton AntiVirus does have a better detection rate then EZ AntiVirus does. The resource usage is in favor of EZ AntiVirus. I would keep Norton AntiVirus until your subscription ends then install EZ AntiVirus or anyother antivirus..

SpywareBlaster 3.5

ChangeLog:

• 
   
  
• SpywareBlaster Turbo-Update Technology: Faster and more frequent updates
   
  
• Various feature and protection enhancements
   
  
• Further optimizations to certain parts of the program

NEW UPDATING OPTIONS IN SPYWAREBLASTER 3.x

SpywareBlaster still offers the built-in Check for Updates feature. This feature is completely free and allows you to keep up-to-date by clicking on a button in the SpywareBlaster interface.

 

SpywareBlaster 3.5 now offers SpywareBlaster AutoUpdate - a brand-new updating solution. Just set it up, and AutoUpdate will check at every system boot for the latest updates and enable the newest protection (other options are available).

 

As much as we would like to provide auto-updating functionality for free, costs are simply too great to make it feasible. AutoUpdate functionality is $9.95 (US) per year, which helps to cover the bandwidth costs. The Check for Updates function remains completely free, as does SpywareBlaster. You only need to pay if you wish to have the extra convenience of AutoUpdate.

 

Enjoy! 

Best regards,
