Topic: The Best AntiSpyWare?!

[Samker]

I have a feeling that Windows defender is little bit slowing down my system..Any suggestion to improve?

Lancelot, I don't have any suggestion about W. Defender but my strong recommendation is to try Malwarebyte's and SUPERAntispyware: http://scforum.info/index.php/board,12.0.html

I use malwarebytes http://www.malwarebytes.org
and Spybot search and destroy...
Sometimes i install windows defender too
SuperAntispyware once deleted my System32 file...I know it can be once in a lifetime thing, but i now will think twice before installing it again

Stopping spyware (“malware”) is more than a one-time inoculation, folks. This is about a weekly habit of cleaning "nasty dust bunnies" from your personal computer. In much the same way you clean your home with your favorite broom and your favorite cleaning solvents, you will also need good tools to clean spyware out of your PC.

For a couple of years, I've been successful with McAfee, Ad-Aware and Spybot on my own computers, as well as my family's computers, but McAfee is the only one I let run constantly, the others I use to scan with weekly.

I added SuperAntispyware and Malwarebytes, as well as the free online Panda security scanner for a particularly nasty virus infection that popped up on my laptop shortly before finals one semester (and of course on the laptop I needed to take my finals with), and I still use those occasionally.  Maybe it's overkill, but I've become a little paranoid after the fiasco near finals   Plus I'm still learning about effective security measures, and hope this site will help me.

is there a topic here about the Mcafee anti spyware, where i can download it also... just send me a link thank you..

[perico]

i use  Mcafee anti spyware, no problems and it's light for cpu

I'm using a combination between mcafee 8.5i antyspyware and superantispyware, both of them works really good and has no perfomance impact in the system.

I use Mcafee 8.7i with no antispyware, and i use comodo pro firewall, never used any other tool, and my PC has been virus/bug free for years on end. To note that I torrent and have a home network for the family.

I also have U3 enabled USB thumb drives, which are running avast U3 antivirus (it installs on the USB), which scans the USB drive and the host computer whenever i plug the USB in. This helps a lot with the bug free thing.

A proper solution doesnt neccessarily mean five-six tools to scan for malware, some good sense and awareness will keep the computer clean.
