    I'm not sure if I need to delete Spyware Terminator since I have DS.
    I wonder if DS can be a great antispyware.
    What should I do?

    Keep em both, DS is not and never will be a dedicated AS, anythingh else but an AS will never be optimal against SW unless your virtualizing/sandboxing w/e

    btw u use the Av and HIPS parts as well of ST?

    I only use real time shield and scanning parts of ST since Comodo D+ is a great HIPS. I decided not to use DS due to my slow cpu. I'm just going to keep ST. Frankly, I think I'm still in a good shape without DS.

    They are different types of software and it should be fine to use them together.

    that might be true, but drivesentry still covers all the sensitive areas of your computer, while ST, although saying its a HIPS, is one of the weakest ive ever seen and its detection isnt all that great either + there Clam AV is a joke. Last time i used ST it was resource heavy as well. so i just never liked ST.

    By the way, I'm just using scanning and real time shield parts of ST. For my cpu, ST is using very little resources.
