Appreciate any views
Thx |  | Moderator with 73,876 posts. | | Join Date: Mar 2004 Location: New York | | Good program. I like it  Found it more effective |  | Distinguished Member with 4,834 posts. | | Join Date: May 2005 Location: Stanley Cup Penguins Experience: ,The Jimi Hendrix | | Spybot was one the first freeware anti-spyware programs and it's still a decent program, but SuperAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes are now considered better.
But I would still keep Spybot because it's extra features. The Immunize function and the Hosts file provide another layer of protection. Also the Active-X and BHO tools are useful in identifying which ones are legitimate. Plus it's good to have several anti-spyware scanners as they tend to find different threats. |  | Distinguished Member with 19,733 posts. | | Join Date: May 2006 Location: Eastern Pa Experience: Advanced | | Another vote here for Superantispyware and I would not keep Spybot, it's old technology and has little to offer a new system. | | | Distinguished Member with 7,064 posts. | | Join Date: Feb 2002 Location: South East, UK | | ok interesting have heard mixed views, so no conflict if using both on system?
Guess I've been so used to 'Spybot'

You can use multiple antispyware programs on a system, it is antivirus programs you should not have more than one of, though once again, how many hoops must one jump through to avoid spending $19.99 lifetime price of the best program? | | | Distinguished Member with 7,064 posts. | | Join Date: Feb 2002 Location: South East, UK | | Quote:

#10 | I got 'super antispyware professional version I won at CastleCops® and it has a lifetime of updates on it.
Also won the a-squared Anti-Malware that is good. The new version 4 does a whole lot. It alerts you on things before something bad can happen. Can block sites and programs and it has the Ikarus Anti-Virus engine.
So its a Anti-Spyware + Anti-Virus! both now. http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/antimalware/ | | | Distinguished Member with 7,064 posts. | | Join Date: Feb 2002 Location: South East, UK |

#12 | Its just an opinion that Superantispyware is THE best program out there
I have malwarebytes pro version
Its light on resources and very easy to use and the free pdogram is excellent as well

Thx | Yes that's right. If you go to the site it is $39.99 for life. Don't do that. Run it manually and by the 3rd time you update it, you will see the opportunity to buy it for $19.99 lifetime for $19.99 right in the update screen. | | | Distinguished Member with 54,170 posts. | | Join Date: Oct 2001 Location: *Random People Pleaser***Sacramento Experience: Having fun |

#15 | Funny the antispyware professional version has a lifetime subscription but if I do a manual update and when there is a update I get the I think a one day only thing to get the lifetime subscription for $19.99.
But I already have the lifetime subscription. 
I did not know Malwarebytes had a free version. |  THIS THREAD HAS EXPIRED.
