for scanning and realtime protection… what are the best, in your opinion? I want to protect my system better and I’m not sure whats good anymore. I hear that microsoft anti-spyware is a good one, but unfortunitly… thats a no go ☹
right now I’m using ewido… found it thru AVG’s homepage, and so far I like it :tup:

Panda antivirus + spyware protect.
Spybot + Adaware if you are looking for cheap (free) solutions.

I’m a fan of Ad-aware. There were also a few times I used Adaware and Spybot, and Webroot Spy Sweeper found thing they did not.

spysweeper hands down … you only want 1 Antivirus installed… and 1 ACTIVE anti-spyware… other than that… use a few for spyware.
