    USA still the best. But barely.
    Irregardless of what software one has. ss is less than worthless. So no you nor anyone needs ss.

    I don't use those 2, but do use SS.

    Thing I wonder is if you let it lapse, will they be your 2 actives?

    1 an AV active
    2 an active ASW

    What else do you have security wise? Do you have a router? a software FW with in out functions?

    But it's only theory you seem to have made up your mind!
    Good luck!

    no you dont need SS.
    if you want a decent antispyware program try superantispyware.
    if you want realtime antispyware try the pro version of superantispyware.
    SS is bloated and has to many bugs.
    i wish my dad didnt renew spysweeper i told him not to but before i could explain he renewed it...
    anyway NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
    anyway trend has very good spyware detection
