I doubt by the wy that the program that checks the integrity of your os will slow down your system. It's more something like a browser plugin. Never had a problem with that. Always updated XP via internet and never had any problems. Neither with software nor with anything else... It might be a problem if you own a 486DX4/100. and you must have a crutch like this or a pirated version of your os  Just kidding of course...[/b]

I had to run that program from the Net to download Windows Defender since MS only grants it free to people with legit Windows installations. So it does have some use. Anyway I don't know if it's installed itself now or if it has limited itself to run once, I don't even know if that program is resident or if it's only run at request, either mine or any parent program's.
In short, does anyone positively know if this program is resident or if it runs only at request? In the latter case, does it get run at the request of other resident Windows apps?
