No.
The install software removes any of the old files no longer needed. What is
nice is that the "old" firewall settings, and many other of your setting
just transfer over. It is nice to not have to go through the "allowing" of
everything with the firewall again. Suggestion, check the box to do a
spyware scan while doing the virus scan. You will find that option under
"Settings, Anti-Virus" from the "Home" screen. I like this, because a deep
scan of the HD looks everything that is bad. I also, against the advice of
many of the MVP's here have run the e-mail virus scan since I started using
SS4. I have never had an error with OE and getting my e-mail. In fact with
SS5, it stopped a series (hundreds in a 3 week period) of e-mails
containing, a virus. All appeared to be coming from my parents. Their
machine was clean (they were also running SS5). They also got hundreds that
were blocked. We later on found the infected machine belonged to Pop's
sister. She was using No**on's.
Yes I recommend SystemSuite. It integrated well with Win '98SE, and
integrates well with XP. Sorry I never did the ME or 2000 software. I
understand I missed nothing with ME.
Also I still use AdAwareSE, as well as Spybot S&D, and WinPatrol. I have
used WinPatrol for a very long time. Scotty has "been on patrol" for a long
time. The WinPatrol Plus (paid version) is the way to go. A one time, low
priced fee ($25). I have used WinPatrol long before anything else. The
protection it affords stopped so much before the others came along. Check
it out and let me know what you think of it. www.winpatrol.com It is very
well trusted.
