Nod 32 and Spybot S&D

I have Spybot S&D on my machine. Frequently when I bring up IE6, I get the message:

Spybot S&D Resident
Spybot-S&D Reports that you want to download "Avenue A Inc". This is a known threat. Do you want to block this download? (Yes or No).

If I install Nod32, will it stop this "known threat" so I can uninstall Spybot-S&D?

My laptop runs XP SP2 and Outlook and IE6. I also have free Zone Alarm and when I am at the house in the winter with high speed internet, I have a Router in line.

Thank you.

Actually it's just a cookie. Spybot is basically overreacted on this one (one of the many reasons I haven't used it in a long time). Really nothing to fear, but for the most part, if you are a safe surfer running NOD32 and Firefox/Opera should keep you pretty well protected.

Thanks, Cov

I try and surf safely, but you never know when you might stumble upon a real killer! That is why I need safety nets.

What I hope to do with Nod32 is get rid of McAfee, Spybot, Windows Defender and AdAwareSE.

And I am afraind I have IE6 and Outlook, not Firefox/Opera.

Still trying to make my Nod32 decision.

Again, Thanks

 

No problems . NOD32's IMON protects agains exploit which covers IE and OE so even with them you are protected .

Moreover you can always goto www.mozilla.com and download marvelous Firefox 2 for free

 

totally agree with you on this. Also, add NoScript to Firefox and surf even safer
:mrgreen:

 

If you have ad-aware se or pro i'd suggest you run that alongside nod32 or else run spybots teatimer, both are handy to have run realtime for the added protection and they don't seem to cause any slowdown.

 

Now that Nr 1 son no longer works for Microsoft, I could consider Foxfire. However, I have enough new stuff to learn so I'd rather not change now.

FarmerLee: Are you saying that I NEED to keep AdAware SE because NOD32 won't cover all bases??

Thanks one and all for the answers. Still trying to decide: nod or not.

 

No, NOD32 is more than adequate for Spyware.

Cheers

 

Thankyou Blackspear. I was hoping that Nod 32 would cover my Anti-spy needs. Right now I have 3 programs doing that, and I am ready to Keep It Simple Stupid, and get rid of them along with McAfee.
