i thought counterspy used more resourses but that must of been version 1.
edit just tryed counterspy 2.1 upstairs its really improved since version 1.
but i would try prevx2.0 that has njust come out instead.

Cheaper doesn't always mean better :)

I didn't want to get into a long drawn out battle over this and have to prepare reports to prove my case - what you see in task manager is not the true story.....that's really not the way to measure actual resource usage.

However judging from how light Counterspy runs on my system I'm glad I bought it. 8)

I am not knocking the product, Counterspy is a fine product and a great addition to your system. I was just bringing to the readers attention that you have to be careful when you state "facts" that may not be facts, but rather opinion. :)

Because your understandably a little biased. ;)

-{ Quote: "Did you not see this part "I am not knocking the product, Counterspy is a fine product and a great addition to your system"" }-I saw it and agree. I'm simply stating that readers should try it themselves as I own a Counterspy licence and you are the developer of another product and can't be expected to say a competing product might have some edge. Even if that edge is how it feels on a readers system. As I stated I don't have the ability to dissect any reports you might prepare concerning resourse usage so you've got me there.

I don't try to keep up with resource usage as long as whatever I am using does not slow my machine down.
One exception was Counterspy. The earlier versions of CS used a lot of resources, although I did not notice any slowdown.
However, I tested CS 2, and it did greatly reduce resource usage. I think it is one of the top AS, although I do not use it. If one does not have such an application, it is my opinion that CS 2 is among the best.

I could be wrong but I do not believe KIS protects against some browser hijacks or screenshot keyloggers. A free setup of Spyware Terminator (with HIPS and Clam av disabled) plus Snoopfree would help in this regard.
I noticed the other day when I installed AIM my homepage was changed but KIS did not issue any warnings. Also I believe there were some tests that showed KIS vulnerable to some Spycar tests involving browser exploits. But I cannot find them now.

I'm working with KIS 7 at the moment and use the great SuperAntispyware on demand. This is enough for me. KIS will do the job and twice a week I run SAS and this will get all the rest like cookies and stuff.
When I'm under "attack" I will run SAS a bit more

I dont use any security products alongside KIS because its signatures and PDM are adequate forms of protection and I feel safe with them. I only use on-demand scanners which are SuperAntiSpyware and AVG-AS and i use them every few months... just encase something seeps through... hasn't happened so far though.
I havent experimented with other AS scanners, so will not say they work the best, but in my experience, they work fine for on-demand alongside KIS v6 and 7

Counterspy is initially cheaper if you have no plans on renewing the subscription. SAS can be purchased with a lifetime subscription for $20-$30, depending on how you acquire the "special". :P
I've installed both programs on over 100 pc's and there is no doubt that SAS runs lighter and has the best support from any anti-spyware solution. Kudos to Nick and his crew. :thumb:
