True, but You do not meet malware too often, so in practice you will be using it for a long time.

I voted Superantispyware for my top choice but actually Malwarebytes carries equal weight with me but you could only vote for 1. ;D

CureIt is my best choice because it is more able then MBAM or SAS

It is both realtime and a scanner. Although I suppose the scanner is moreso for rootkits.

Well since Prevx can not be used as ondemand, it can be hardly a choise. It silently installs and then runs in backround forever, until it is uninstalled ;)
I don understand the condition, "those with no removal ignored". You have to know, that you are infected, then it is easy to find a way to remove it. MWAV.

... or MBAM :)

Is it really time to say goodbye for Ad-Aware and Spybot S&D? ::)

I don't understand either. But I guess the anti-spyware application uninstallation.

SuperAntispyware, a-squared here. Neither much needed since good AV seems to do the job for me (NOD32 and Avira-free)

Hi Jeff,
And with KIS?;D

I am eager to try Avast 5, and especially the IS.
