Adaware and Spybot ?

My dad got rid of most of the anti spyware programs on the pc.

All we have left are Adaware SE and Spybot. He got rid of Spywareblaster, spywareguard and Spyware Terminator. So he got rid of a program that adds lots of kill bits and real time protection. This computer won't last a week.

please, what is that about?

if I think you mean 'tracking,' 'web bugs' why dont you not accept 3rd party cookies.

 

i don't let 3rd party cookies on my computer

 

okay but I'm still confused

 

i would have to many cookies

 

The person you're referring to - the one who has no kill bits and such - they would still have a functional computer in a week if they have antiVIRUS protection. Remember spyware seldom destroys a computer, it simply makes it sluggish and may take data.

 

we have norton anti virus my parents are scared of those free virus scanners haha

 

nothing. u already have ewido and spyware terminator which provide excellent spyware protection.

 

i replaced it with the free superantispyware

 

I would keep them because of the concept of what one can miss the other probably won't.

In addition, Spybot is something more than the typical antispyware product. It also offers the following:

1. Registry backup
2. Shredder
3. Protects IE
4. Start up manager
5. Basic System Internals
6. Uninstaller
7. Hosts manager
8. ActiveX and BHO control
9. Winsock LSPs

I'd keep it instead of having several different programs covering these areas, which would create overlap.

 

i redownloaded it

 

I still keep ad-aware and spybot on my computer and scan with them from time to time. I'm impressed with spybots results in the latest tests. It beat the other two common freebies spyware terminator and windows defender. I think i'll definitely be keeping it.
