Help required please! New NIS 2009 user!

Hello, very new user here.

 

 

I'm still trying to work out how to use this program after nearly a week, and I was wondering if anyone could help with some questions please?

 

 

(I have XP Home, with Service Pack 3 installed. Also using Internet Explorer 7)

 

 

1) Is there anything I need to make Norton do before running a program such as Ccleaner to clean out junk files or clean the registry, so I do not have any problems with errors or protected files?

 

2) I understand I can only have one antispware protection program on (i.e. the Norton one), and no others running at the same time?

 

3) Are there any precautionary steps I would need to take with Norton, before I can install a new program?

 

4) Also, when running update checks on existing programs (e.g. Ccleaner)?

 

5) With Internet Explorer 7, do I need to turn off the Pop-up blocker off? Also, I assume I have to disable the Phishing Filter (as Norton has its own)?

 

6) I assume I am OK to run a scan with a another scanner (e.g. Malwarebytes, Superantispyware), or do I have to switch something off in Norton first?

 

7) If there is a program which I use, which Norton blocks or thinks is suspicious, how do I tel Norton that it can allow it?

 

8) I notice there a number of processes being blocked, medium risk (in the Recent History viewer)?

 

They are all c:\windows\explorer.exe, although I don't know what they are.

 

9) What is Norton Insight? Does this just tell Norton what programs it does not need to repeatedly scan?

 

 

Sorry for such a long list, but I would be grateful if someone could help me out with these queries please?

 

Thank you.
