xxxxsh4d0wxxxx Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Which has the best Real-Time Protection. Spybot Search & Destroy Windows Defender SpywareGuard Ad-Aware Pro (What I am currently running) Which is the best out of those, or what are some better ones. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators rridgely Posted March 9, 2007 Moderators Share Posted March 9, 2007 Out of those probably adaware pro. Defender is junk, and the current teatimer(spybot) has a few bugs. Some people really like spyware terminator which is free as well.(not my favorite by any means, but you could try it yourself) ---------- Honestly though, if you have an AV running and a firewall(even if its just the windows one), you should be ok without any realtime antispyware.

xxxxsh4d0wxxxx Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 That's what I was thinking. I really love my Ad-Watch a lot. I heard Spybot's was good as well. I have the newest AVG for an AV. Well I guess I'll stick with Ad-Watch. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XanaTos112 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 dont use any myself, a full system scan with AVG anti-spyware + using spywareblaster = no spyware = no need for real time protection Who watches The Watchmen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarq57 Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 I'm one of those that use SpywareTerminator. I've used the others (except Defender) and keep them as demand scanners. Since installing ST on the computer, I've been pretty much infection free. The company is focussing more on the realtime protection and HIPS side of it rather than trying to get every definition in the www nailed, and there are demand scanners that fill that gap very well (SAS, Asquared,AVG) but I have noticed the definitions are increasing. Frequent updates, most bugs sorted, active forum. I used to use MSAntispyware. When it died, and became Windows Defender, I read enough about it to not want to try it out.

login123 Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 presently using: SpywareGuard--http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareguard.html (Golden Oldie ) SpywareBlaster--http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html Spybot S&D--http://www.spybot.info/ SuperAntiSpyware Pro--http://www.superantispyware.com/ Will let it lapse when the trial runs out, see how it works as the free version. The CCleaner SLIM version is always released a bit after any new version; when it is it will be HERE :-) Pssssst: ... It isn't really a cloud. Its a bunch of big, giant servers.

Moderators rridgely Posted March 12, 2007 Moderators Share Posted March 12, 2007 Yeah if you don't mind paying then you could get AVG Antispyware or Superantispyware. I would probably get AVG but super is great too. There is also webroot which is awesome. All 3 of those are better than adaware, but none of them are necessary.

CeeCee Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Basicly just using Opera or Firefox instead of IE, keep you out of the crapware. When using IE, SpywareBlaster is a MUST. Up-to-date antivirus program is always must to have. I personally use and prefer Avast!. So i think that Real Time prodection for spy/adware is quite needless, when using safe browser like i.e Opera.
