I'm not sure if that's good or bad. I also like the updated spybot but find the tea timer annoying so I disabled it using msconfig. The newer version of the paid AVG also does a good job with spyware.

Missing is the Realtime Sophos virus engine that looks for active infections from e-mail, IM, and other vectors. Webroot says that functionality will come later, but it's a tad misleading to suggest that Spy Sweeper 5.2 with Antivirus is a complete antivirus solution. My question is if I use a free version of avg will that possibly conflict?

Upon requesting that track eraser removes current info that might be contain in the internet explorers history, the program performs the fuction but the contents that it was suppose to erase are still present. Currently I am using win XP pro, along with mcafee security suite which features virus scan, firewall, privacy, and spam. If you can help me with this dilemma I would appreciate it greatly.
thank U.

Microsoft also has a malware cleaner, but if you have an anti-spyware you dont really need it.

An excellent bit of software, all in all.

Which Registry cleaner is safe for a basic computer user with no real skills? My machine has slowed to a terrible extent since purchased in 2004.

I have the following: Spybot-Search & Destroy (along with tea timer), Ad-aware SE Personal, Spyware Doctor (free version), Spywareblaster, & Wnpatrol Scotty.

However, I don't like MS Antispyware because it dosen't protect firefox!!

Went with ur recommendations after checking elsewhere - lo & behold after installing & scanning with ms a/s,not a single piece of spyware. So I checked settings & did a thorough scan - same result - nothing. I surf the obligatory porn sites, have McAfee security, I share music with limewire (the cleanest of the lot i reckon). I believe the best approach is run AdAware - spybot doesn't seem to pull anything up but I still use it & also clean up your old files & registry with Toni Arts "Easy Cleaner". A state of mild paranoia also helps. Easy Cleaner is brilliant - how about your views on it.

yah, Ms (giant) antispyware is good, but it is NOT the end-all of AS products...
my first incarnation was infected by malware, tho a re-install and some judicious registry edits cured that...
i reccomend the MS anti spy, but ya STILL need Spywareblaster, which will imunize your machine against most malware infections...and Adaware finds stuff that the MS misses, every time....another most excellent freeware program is the Ewido security suite which offers real-time protection for the first 14 days free....then if ya don't wanna buy it, it becomes like most other freeware scanners...but it finds stuff the first two miss!!
also excellent is the ASquared software, which finds many kinds of Malware..
and Spybot Search and Destroy as well will find variants missed by the previously mentioned products.
NONE are perfect....but these days, trusting your security to just one software can be foolish if you do ANYTHING with personal info on the net...
personally, i'd reccomend the MS and Adaware, with your choice of spybot and ewido at the least.
and Spywareblaster is a must...
ya may also wanna google these programs as well:
winpatrol, BHO daemon,spoofstick and the most excellent A squared products.
peace,
p.
