Anti-Spyware Poll 2006

Bubba suggested in a previous AS poll to create a newer poll with more current choices, so I created this.

What Anti-Spyware software do you use, whether real time or on demand? You can make multiple selections and should read to the bottom of the poll list (you might find what you are looking for there).

 

BTW, it should be two polls, one for free ones, other for paid.
and can be still one for real time scanners, other for on-demand.
It will be nice if a rather bit complex poll is created by a mod to eloborate all these aspects.

 

I thought about this but it was too complex to do and figured people could always post a message to elaborate on their configuration.

 

My configuration:

Real Time: BitDefender 9 (P)

On Demand: Trend Micro AntiSpyware (P), AdAware, a-squared, Ewido, Spybot

Additional: SpywareBlaster, MVPS Hosts file, WinPatrol

(P) = Paid

 

Other: Prevx1 (realtime)
*AV: KAV

Real time- W Defender, SpyCatcher, SnoopFree
On-Demand- SuperAS free, Kl Detector, Ewido free, SpyAudit, Spywarer doctor( just testing to see false positives).
Plus- SpywareBlaster

Most are just to play as I do safe surfing but if I could buy SpySweeper, the set up it can be-
SpySweeper and Ewido free only.

 

I voted for 4. But I forgot KAV5 ondemand. Ad Aware, SSD, SuperAntiSpyware, KAV5 & NOD32. Only NOD32 RTM.

Edit: Cr*p people are mentioning preventative software also. I thought you meant products that can detect & cure spyware. So preventative here also: SpywareBlaster, HostsMan, ProcessGuard, ScrpTrap, Sygate PF, Harden-it, SocketLock & Windows Worms Doors Cleaner.

Edit #2: Also ondemand HijackThis, RootkitRevealer, F-Secure BlackLight & BitDefender AntiRoot.

So there. Joking.

 

Realtime: None, OnDemand: HijackThis, MWAV, RootkitRevealer.

 

Realtime
KIS MP1 Beta and BoClean

On demand
Ewido and SuperAntispyware

 

I voted [None] in this poll. I have no antispyware programs installed on my computer. I have NOD32 Antivirus installed.

 

u couldve voted "*AV also detects Spyware (please specify)"

anyways for me, i have ewido online scanner for trojans and superantispyware (on-demand) for spyware. nod32 can also detect a few spywares i guess.

 

In addition to the "standards" I use (Ad-Aware, ewido, SS&D), my avast a-v has for quite a while included a number of spyware baddies in its defs.

 

NOD32
Arovax Shield
ewido anti-spyware
SUPERAntiSpyware
SpywareBlaster

 

If I must use my Windows desktop.........

NOD32

SuperAntispyware

Spyware Blaster.

 

*AV also detects Spyware (please specify) = KAV, but using KIS.

 

Spy Sweeper, Ad-aware and BOClean.

 

Ad-aware
Spywareblaster & Spywareguard
ie-spyad

 

On my rig...
NOD32 (AV that detects it)
Spybot S&D..updated and immunized..hardly scan with it though
Sometimes Adaware scans..not in a long time though.

Recently changed my home connection (which I do every few months out of boredom)...currently running behind an IPCop *nix router I built on a small form factor P4 2.4 with 512 megs. Added the Copfilter mod...which scans with ClamAV, Spamassasin, Snort, and has a custom web filter.

 

Real Time: NOD32 + ShadowUser

On demand: Ewido

 

I voted for Ad-Aware se , Spybot S&D , AV + IS suit

Ad-Aware se + Spybot S&D because they are well known and always clean a lot

AV=> NOD32 because it is great AV + it is great spyware prevention software and most of the times good spyware cleaner

IS => Panda Platinum 2006 => Good malware *cleaner* at all (never good protection, too high on resourses)

 

Real-Time (all paid)

- NOD32 (& scan 3 times/week)
- BOClean
- Giant AS (& scan daily)

On-Demand only (scan monthly)

- Ewido (paid)
- A-squared
- Ad-Aware
- SpyBot S&D (immunized)
- Outpost Pro AS
- Bazooka
- KAV on-line scanner

Also: Win Patrol, Spyware Blaster, and (sometimes) Sandboxie.

Have not found any malware on my computer for two years now, but I keep looking!

 

Real-time:BoClean and Spyware Terminator(beta).
On-demand:A-squared and Spyware Blaster.

 

I have no anti-spyware apps installed. I use System Safety Monitor to prevent unwanted installs and processes. If I should happen to install something that I either decide against or is bundled with something unwanted, I have regularly updated system backups handy.

Realtime: KIS Beta (KasperskyInternetSecurity)
On-Demand: Ewido, Spy Sweeper, SuperAntiSpyware
