    In the "Read Me First" guide you instruct us to boot into safe mode with networking support.
    What is the reason we choose "with networking support" since we disconnect our connection to the internet?

    Thanks

    2 scans at once

    Is it a bad idea to run two scans at once- whether they be online scans or any 2 of the spyware tools?

    Works out better if you need updates or something else we forgot to download.

    It's best to run one scan at a time so they will not find the same thing and the same time.

    Actually it is required to run the online scans.

    It is not necessary for the other parts after doing online scans. However note, that some users have problems getting a Desktop to appear when booting in safe mode. The same users; however, can often get a Desktop to appear if they boot into safe mode with networking even though the cable is unplugged.
