Spy Bot S&D

It's good, but malwarebytes is probably better. There are fake versions of both so be careful where you download it from.
 
Malwarebytes is my preference, but I run the web browser Sandboxed as added security.
 
No problem Mike. Sandboxie is a freeware program that isolates your PC from the web, have a look at there homepage HERE.
 
Yes PC only, you would have to run a VM, virutal machine, take a look at this list here.
 
Ok thanks for that does anybody know how they compare to superantispyware ? Sorry about all the questions....
 
I've been using SpyBot for longer than I had been using Ad-aware. The latter has been dropped in favour of malwarebytes
I've since switched from AVG to Avast but the latter doesn't run on my netbook without a BSOD so I now use BitDefender.
ZoneAlarm interfered with Alcohol 120% so use Comodo.
 
TBH I'd stick to built-in Windows firewall instead of comodo/zone alarm etc. It's very serviceable. Malwarebytes is probably the best malware scanner I can think of right now.
 
Microsoft Essentials is really quite good. In a previous life, I used to help with virus and spyware removal, both Spybot and Ad-aware have had their day. Malwarebytes gets my vote for a second layer of protection.
 
I use SpyBot S&D, among other security programs - Malwarebytes, Avast. Difficult to know if it is any good because none of the security things have found anything nasty on my PC for years.
