Would like to get some info on running spyware/malware programs.
At the moment i have..ad-aware,spybot,malwarebytes,spyware blaster,spyware guard and super anti spyware (all free versions) and think maybe(lmao) im bogging myself down with too many.
if anyone could recommend which to use and which to get rid of i would be a great help

Hi while it's only recommended to have one anti-virus program installed,having more than one Spyware program installed is Ok.
Unless the Spyware program has Real Time monitoring,that means it runs in the background and is keeping an eye on what may be attacking your system
All the ones you list above are free and do not have that as a part of their program.

When you Immunize in Spybot, doesn't that prevent threats in realtime? I have heard allot about AVG Malware Protection, I wonder if it is good?

I run Malwarebytes, SuperantiSpyware, and Spybot. SpywareBlaster works by itself. I also run Avg AntiRootkit and Avg AntiSpyware monthly.

Different programs classify infections in different ways like tracking cookies. It takes some time but I'm cautious.

Ive decided to keep SpywareGuard,SpywareBlaster,SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition,Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware and Ad-Aware.
I've got rid of Spybot as i've read in lots of reviews that its a pretty much out-dated program along with ad-adware,but i will still run ad-adware as i always seems to find something when i run it and alot of users still use it.
thx guys
