Topic: The Best AntiSpyWare?!

[Samker]

Dear SCF Members,

in this Topic I would like to open discussion about The Best AntiSpyware Solutions.


I personally use Ad-Aware and SpyBot S&D (few years!), in combination they both work excellent (monthly full scans). Especially Spybot because it's totally free.

More about Ad-Aware: http://scforum.info/index.php/topic,1212.0.html
More about SpyBot S&D: http://scforum.info/index.php/topic,24.0.html


Now, please share with other SCF Members yours experiences, recommendations...?!

Almost forget!

Before few days I was try a Windows Defender and it also look like very good tool.

Did anybody try/use W.D.?

Windows Defender is all right.
Ad Aware was really working well on my system, liked it a lot.

the best free antispyware is spywareterminator while the best paid antispyware is counterspy

I used to use spybot,avg,& a few others. I always wondered why my computer kept getting infected. Spybot used to be so good, avg was quite decent but took so long to scan. Then i ran Comodo firewall, SpywareTerminator,& Avira AntiVir. This combination is great for it being a freeware setup. However I have been using Kapersky internet security suite for the last 1 1/2 yrs and have tried NoD 32 from ESET security as well as their total security suite. These suites use less system resources, leave a smaller footprint, & are much much better at what they do. I haven't been infected since i started using Kapersky (unless i purposely downloaded an infected file to get the program i wanted knowing it would get thoroughly disinfected later).

I'm using the McAfee Anti-spyware 8.5i. I'm quite satify with it's performance.

I run 4 programs regularly spybot, adaware, malawarebytes and superanti spyware.  They seem to get everything I have come across.

i have never come to use ad aware and spybot.. im stuck in mcafee 8.5i antivirus+antispyware w/ HIP
been satisfy for a year.. Avast crawl during scan.. it takes me 5hours for a full system scan while mcafee takes about a quarter before hour. and the proctection og mcafee? realtime!

I agreed to duomaxwell22, same with me. I am mcafee lover.

"A clean system is a fast system".

I always keep my system as simple as it can be.

Mcafee for virus detection, Deepfreeze to lock and secure my system from any change, and RegistryBooster to clean/fix/defrag my systems' registry.


I agree with Sam, Spybot is an excellent program!
I generally use it "once" after a fresh install to my pc, scan my new pc and afterwards I uninstalled it! Only just to make sure my PC is clean from unwanted malware and spywares.


The idea is not to install too many programs that will likely affect speed performance. Running its process in the background and/or checking/downloading some updates really slows down your PC!
