    Does spyware terminator and super antispyware check for the same problems? I have them both on my computer and would like to delete one if they perform the same functions.

    If you're using SAS-Free, then ST does offer the real-time guard, Antivirus Integration and HIPS. If you're using SAS-Paid, you would only need one of them in real-time. SAS would get the edge there, in my opinion.

    SAS has superior spyware/adware/trojan/rootkit detection and removal when compared to ST. If you wish to keep ST as real-time then use SAS on-demand since nothing is 100%.

    I may be being "picky" here, but just in case you really meant "delete", don't. Use the uninstall function in "add remove programs".

    If you are talking about Spyware Terminator, I would like to ask you:
    Does ST 2.0 make problem with using it and system? Because i think it is good because for exaple it protect computer in real time. I have not try ST on my computer still.

    prozabor, no significant problems with SpywareTerminator (2.0.1.224). Teething problems at times. Some users have reported problems, especially those using the integrated Clam AV, mainly to do with updates, I think.
    The HIPS feature produces some popups. If you don't like Comodo firewall for this reason, you probably won't like ST with the HIPS on.
    Not heavy on resources, scans are quite fast, removal ability not tested since I haven't had any malware since installing it. Price is right, support forums active.

    Then you won't get so many alerts. You will get some, depending on what settings you have, and how you use your computer.
    Try it out and see.
