SUPERAntiSpyware

I'm running on a Windows 7 64-bit laptop.

My current security setup is as follows:
- G-Data Internet Security 2011
- MBAM Pro (paid)
- Hitman Pro (paid)

I was thinking about getting SUPERAntiSpyware, but I feel like I'm covered. Am I missing anything?

Some of you have way too many tools IMHO. My head is spinning just trying to understand the need for all them.

Thanks.

 

Welcome to wilders

The setup you have specified pretty much covers most of the aspects of computer protection, here infact many members might do recommend you to add SandboxIE to your setup which I too recommend but I guess its not needed coz you have a really strong combo (Minus the SUPERAntiSpyware)

 

Using Gdata and MBAM paid you have already 2 realtime scanners. I'd suggest using SAS free version for on demand only, if you want to use SAS of course. In my opinion, using multiple security programs is fine as long as they are different categories(AV scanner, Firewall, HIPS, Behaviour Blocker, sandboxing, virtualisation etc.) 2 scanners at the same time is fine(as long as the second is designed to co-operate with another of course) but adding more will only cause slowdown and may cause problems.

 

Relax!
You have MORE than enough Protection.
No Need to pay for additional software. You have already paid for too much.
G-Data Internet Security 2011 is enough by itself!

MBAM FREE -OR- Hitman Pro FREE could have done the job.
No need to spend money on their Pro versions.
Anyway, you paid for them now...

Apart from Paying for MBAM Pro and Hitman Pro,
you run more than one (G-DATA Internet Security) Real-Time scanners now.
That's a Resource Waste.
I hope you have a Strong CPU and a lot of RAM...

 

Least we all forget.....Gdata has two scanning engines. That along with HMP, MBAM and SAS is overkill. I would suggest running just Gdata, going demand only HMP and MBAM and adding maybe sandboxie.

 

You all know HMP is on-demand only anyway? It has no realtime protection

 

True. Very True.

 

Sandboxie

 

back-up/imaging

 

I agree with you kasperking! But to the OP you can have as many On-Demand scanners you want free or paid but anymore then 2 running in realtime is enough IMO.

I went ahead and got it. The 50% off deal was something that I couldn't pass up, and the developers seem to offer great support.

I'm running it on demand at the moment.

 

Although Kaspersky removes SAS I have not found conflicts. When using KIS I just removed SAS and reinstalled after KIS was installed.
I have not found any conflicts between SAS and any other applications including MBAM when both are running together and with any AV.

I haven't experienced any issues with SAS either. I've run it real-time alongside avast! 5 Pro, Avira 10 Premium, KAV 2010, and KAV 2011 with no problems.

 

2 scanning engines form the same company means the same definitions and technology - the bottom line is our company alone receives over 20,000 samples PER day, which means each company receives and harvests their own set of samples, some of it overlaps and a large amount does not - what that means is that it's better to run products that DO NOT use the same definition and scanning engines i.e. SAS and MBAM are great complementary products - they each detect things the other doesn't.

As long as the software combination is not causing system slow downs or other issues multiple layers of protection is the only way to have a fighting chance these days.

 

thanks superantispy for that info, but that really sucks!!!

no wonder sometime one worked but the other didn't, in removing malwares that is

it means i have to run both inorder to make sure the system is clean enough. do you know how long would that take literally hours

 

And what do you suggest,SAS and MBAM to be merged together?

 

HitmanPro with SAS and MBAM engine would be nice
