Questions about running SUPERAntiSpyware

Hello... I have three questions about running SUPERAntiSpyware.


In this article:
SUPERAntiSpyware - running & getting a log

There's a step toward the end:
"Click on the Repairs Tab. Click on Repair broken Network Connection (WinSock LSP Chain) and then click on Perform Repair"

Do I need to (or should I) do this if no malware is detected by SAS?


This is probably a dumb question... When following "READ & RUN ME FIRST" and the "Windows XP Cleaning Procedure", I install and scan with several programs. After I finish scanning with one, should I uninstall it before moving onto the next one?


One more thing -- when I went to SUPERAntiSpyware's website, I clicked Support, and under "Installation and Uninstallation" I found this page:

How do I uninstall SUPERAntiSpyware?
http://www.superantispyware.com/supportfaqdisplay.html?faq=47

If I ever want to uninstall SAS, should I follow the "Preferred Uninstallation Method" instructions on that page and use the "Uninstaller Assistant"? Is this a good idea?

It just seems kind of odd to me, using a program to directly uninstall a program like that. I always use "Add or Remove Programs" to uninstall a program normally, then sometimes a cleanup utility to remove any traces left behind (like with Norton AntiVirus). I thought I should at least check with you guys.


Thanks in advance!

 

Thanks for answering my questions!

I'm not having any malware issues (as far as I know...). I'm going to see if scanning with these programs turns anything up. I'll only post my logs this time if I find anything, keeping my fingers crossed that I don't.

One more thing I just thought of, that's been bugging me for awhile...

I still have those days of Windows 95-98 embedded in my mind -- whenever you installed or uninstalled a program, you always had to restart the computer afterwards. Ever since the advent of XP, it doesn't seem to be necessary to restart when installing/uninstalling a fair number of programs, at least I'm not prompted to very often.

When installing SAS, MWB's, Spybot, (or even similar security programs) -- is it a good idea to restart the computer after installing or uninstalling the program (just for good measure), even if I'm not prompted to?

Or should I just install, (and if not prompted to restart) download updates, then scan? Then move onto doing the same thing for the next program without restarting (unless prompted)?
