    Default spyware and others

    Hi,
    Can anyone recommend a good all in 1 program for spyware/malware,
    i use ad-aware, spybot-search and destroy and malwarebytes-
    anti malware on infected machines,
    does everyone use multiple programs for spyware?

    cheers

    It's usually the best to use a couple, at the moment malwarebytes seems to be the best.

    is fairly good too.

    Its probably because each program has a different definition of what spyware/malware is.
    Coding in C is like sending a 3 year old to do groceries. You gotta tell them exactly what you want or you'll end up with a cupboard full of pop tarts and pancake mix.

    I use few of them, windows defender, Matwarebytes, and trojan remover.
    the trojan remover is the best one.
    try it.

    thats right, it would be nice to have 1 program to do the job,
    as opposed to 3 or more that have to be installed, updated and run.

    Thanks for that Aboulaly, I'm down loading it now (30 day free trial), I'm on dialup and it will take over an hour.

    I'll let you know how it goes..
