I use a program called Anti-Malware produced by Malewarebytes. It is better than Spybot-S&D because it finds all the same spyware plus any additional malware that Spybot is not designed to find.

uh well where do i start?
a; spyware doctor screwed my system months ago
b; ad-aware isn’t
c; spybot is great
d; it’s ‘micROsoft’ the only program that you ‘need’ to roll out the red carpet for problems and cpu guzzling… seriously, it takes only ONE LINE OF CODE to happily bypass it… another genius stroke by the guy’s and gals at micorsoft.
note. any replies i’ll gladly accommodate but not about the line of code

I use Spyware Terminator (free) as my active component and then Spybot and Ad-Aware for periodic scans on XP. This seems to be an effective combination.

I also enable the TeaTimer in Spybot.

itâ€™s consistently rated # 1 by all the industry experts.

Really? I didn’t see any. Can you post a couple of links?

I have been using S&D amd Ad-aware for years, never had any problems. They seem to compliment each other quite nicely.

I am using the latest version of avast! Home, which has a malware scanner as well. Besides use Windows XP firewall.
This may seem minimal, but I now have a pretty good idea of what’s good and what’s bad on the internet so I can do without full-throttled security.

P.S. You should have mentioned Spyware Terminator, it’s hell of a product for something free (but the irritating HIPS like the one in Comodo firewall is there).

Hmm, Ad-Aware and S&D are still in the list of popular antispyware software, huh? That’s weird, I guess some stains are hard to get rid of.
Really, those two programs aren’t as good as they used to be. They used to be 100% Kickass in the old days, but not anymore.

What suprises me even more, why isn’t SUPERAntiSpyware in the list? This one is widely known as one of the best antispyware solutions out there!
