Which Anti-Spyware App Do You Prefer?

1) SUPERantispyware
2) Malwarebytes' Antimalware

Cannot decide which one is my favorite as both of them are super.

Malwarebytes scans FAST and that's a big PLUS++ so that's why I voted for it.

 

Same as oma - in that order.

 

Spyware Terminator since it has HIPS

Also use Super Anti Spyware, MalwareBytes Antimalware.

 

Voted for SuperAntiSpyware.
Also use MalwareBytes, SpywareBlaster, SpywareGuard, RogueRemover, and WinPatrol.

 

RogueRemover is not necessary anymore. It's been integrated into Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware so you're actually running it twice. The product has been discontinued and can no longer be downloaded from Malwarebytes' homepage...

 

For real?
Had it for quite a while and hadn't heard.
Fastest scanner I've seen.

 

I use the full active-real-time-protection version of MalwareBytes and couldn't be happier with it. I haven't used the full version of SuperAntiSpyware, but I really like it's detection and removal abilities. Spyware Terminator has good real-time protection and it's free. But my vote went to MalwareBytes :-D

(BTW- I liked SpySweeper a lot back around version 4; lately it seems to have gone the way of Norton and McAfee, obtrusive, bloated, and resource hungry; but this is just my opinion )

 

Yes, for real. Here's Mr. Malwarebytes' himself:

We discontinued it because rogue products were becoming more aggressive and the product just did not have a strong framework behind it. The product will always exist on the Internet and you can always grab a copy to keep for yourself. However, we will only be updating Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from now on, which we built to handle even the toughest and wimpiest rogue applications.

Hope that clears it up! ​

And if you purchased a pro version of RougeRemover:

we can offer a free license key for Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware or a complete refund, customer choice. Please contact support and we will take care of it. ​

That's not fair. I'd like to vote for Avira Premium Security Suite, then. :-D

 

Really a toss for me between, SAS and MBAM, chose MBAM for the quicker scan. I use the free versions. Also use SpywareBlaster and ComodoBoclean.

Cheers..

 

spyware terminator for me, oodles of goodies in it,

i also have spywareblaster and spybot - all three on my w2k and xp,
been using them for quite a while now with no problems

 

In this order for me as well. I barely even use my corporate edition of Symantec AV except for quick remote scans from the admin console. Just have SuperAnti and MWB on all my computers. If Symantec picks up something, i'll rescan with SAS and MWB.

 

This is a very hard poll to narrow down to one app, I think a combination of spyware apps are the best way to go. While I also was going to vote for Spyware Terminator (for it's real time shield), I voted for SpyBot. SpyBot's immunization features, as well as it's host file and IE locking features bolster the effectiveness of every other security app I have.

I have to say that MalwareByte's scanning is more effective than the other two, and I find myself using Spyware Terminator only for it's real time shield, SpyBot for immunizations and monthly scanning, and MalwareBytes for weekly scanning.

 

Or likes Spy Sweeper better! :heli That's also an option here! :-D

 

I personally like AD-Ware

 

Do you mean AdAware? Most of us try to get rid of adware.rolleyes

 

CP my curiosity has gotten the best of me, voted but now wondering why you're asking? We all know self constraint is not one of my virtues, along with patience. *smiles*

*I voted for Malwarebytes in case anyone is curious.

 

Well I find that SAS and MBAM together catch just about everything ... however I also use SpyBot Search & Destroy to protect my registry

 

In no particular order:
SpywareBlaster
Spybot S&D
MBAM

Plus AVG
Sometimes Ad-Aware (just for scans)
Sometimes I'll use SAS (just for scans)

I have portable versions of Ad-Aware, SAS, & a few others, so I can run them at any time without having to install/uninstall them.

 

I use,AT& T internet security suite,only because I have DSL and it comes free.
I like Spy Bot S&D and AVG suite.I am just a green horn so what do I know?:confused

 

I've been using Ad-aware for quite some time now. But with all the raves about Super Antispyware perhaps I should change...? Any thoughts?

 

I never did care for AD ware but my daughter loves it.

 

Yes there are a lot of good programs out there.But if you down load them watch out for nastiest:-D

 

Yes if you are not to pc savvy you can get boas soft warerolleyes
There is one program that I had about 3 years ago that was grate
at keeping trojans off.:confused

 

Should have included other in the voting.
As I got my new laptop I had a trial for Norton Internet Security which includes Anti-spyware. I used to hate Norton, but heard they managed to bring in major improvement in their 2009 edition, and I actually like it, and most probably gonna buy it!

Anyone else tried Norton Internet Security 2009 ?

 

Before i was a casualty of the economic situation ,I had a subscription for webroot's spysweeper with anti-virus for about three years,which was by far the most effective security software that i ever used,I currently use microsofts Defender(with little confidence) , mainly for the real time "protection" with avast AV and spywareblaster,I also have SAS (freeware version) and spybot for scanning only.

 

MBAM is the best

SAS pro with real time protection.I have they both n running well

 

malwarebytes and superantispyware i've using for almost a year

 

I use Super Anti-spyware and CCcleaner. I have used AdAware in the past but it doesn't seem to work on Vista.

 

I use superantispyware for a clean sweep of crap. I also have avast free with real time protection and spywareblaster as first a line of defense.

 

I use the free edition of Advanced System Care (www.iobit.com) for spyware protection along with AVG free edition anti-virus. The two don't conflict with each other and you can't beat the price.

 

You have to add Avast to that list! Its the best.

 

but its an AV software

 

I use malwarebytes, spywareblaster, bitdefender (just as a scanner) with avast free (realtime protection) for an av.

 

I like Malwarebytes, ccleaner, and Ad-Aware Malwarebytes is awesome however.

 

Avast is also certified as a antispyware program by West Coast Labs.

 

well i know we all herd the things about mcafee being a resorce hogg but ive used it for like 8 years now and not had the first problem,not the first virus,spyware,adaware,or any thing for that matter,and if sacrificeing some resorces is what it takes to be protected than thats what ill do. i also love the ccleaner that is a definate must for all computers! and the mcafee siteadvisor as well. but to be honest i cant tell that its a resorce hog on any of my 2 laptops or my 8 pcs.:major

 

I use both Ad-Aware and Spy-Bot Search & Destroy. S&D Seems to find more stuff. :cool

 

i use zonealarm suite for security...it includes spyware protection but isnt on the list..
