jobartley515 Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Please state the "best freeware antispyware program" out there that you use and give some reasons as to why it is the best.. As for me I use three different ones... -Ad-Aware SE Personal -Microsoft Antispyware -Spybot S&D (What do you use??) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarun Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 I use everything in my Anti-Malware package. CWShredder, SpywareBlaster, MSAS, Ad-Aware Pro, Spybot, CCleaner, HijackThis. But most of all I use my brain. It's the best for stopping malware infections. Oops, forgot I got ewido too. /blames rridgely. Got me hooked on a nice program.

Moderators TwistedMetal Posted September 2, 2005 Moderators Share Posted September 2, 2005 I use AdAware SE, Spybot S&D, BitDefender Pro AV/Firewall, and WinPatrol. I had ZoneAlarm, but for some reason vsmon.exe would hang at startup and caused Windows to lockup, I had to uninstall it.

Guest Mangix Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 WinPatrol is just like MS AntiSpyware's Protection as for me i use SpyBot Yahoo Antispy Norton Antivirus 2004 i dont get affected by spyware much. if i do i just use Process Explorer and kill everything, edit the registry and im done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capman Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 If you have MSAS, then you might as well do away with WinPatrol, because whereas MSAS alerts you straight away, WinPatrol alerts you quite a bit later, when any alerts should already be done and dusted.

I don't like boasters who admit they steal it, they should do what microsoft do and that is make it so that you have to validate it before you can use it.
