    Downloaded comodo.

    1) I did not see any options to uncheck:
    -"Install Comodo SafeSurf..",
    -Make Comodo my default search provider"
    -"Make Comodo Search my homepage" and
    -uncheck any HopSurf and/or Ask.com options if you choose this one

    -Is that normal?


    2) I DID see these options:
    -Comodo GeekBuddy (I choose to uncheck)
    -Firewall only, Firewall Optimum, or Firewall Max (I choose Optimum)
    -Comodo SecureDNS Server (I selected it)

    -Did I make the right calls, if not, how to fix?
    Thanks!

      I installed spyware blaster but did not do spybot search and destroy.  After reading this site, I am novice with PC, and saw if I need to do hijack this it would interfere, and I just didn't want to make things more complicated.  OK?


      Also, if in the near future I get a new PC, I take it no matter what I should]
      1)  Get CCleaner
      2)  Get SAS
      3)  Get MBAM
      4)  Get Comodo and disable any Windows or Apple firewall
      5)  Get spyware blaster

      First thing when I get the new PC, right?

      Thanks again!

      You don't need CCleaner. You can do the same thing by doing a disk cleanup regularly.
      SAS and MBAM are not active programs unless you buy them. You can have them on your computer and make it a habit to update them and run them on a regular basis.
      A third-party firewall is a good idea and spywareblaster is also a good idea.
      I will lock this thread. If you need it re-opened, please send me a pm.
