Do I need Ewido?

My security system:
AV: Mcafee Enterprise 8 with antispyware module
AT: Boclean
FW: SP2
I have 1 year ewido license. I haven't use it. Can ewido add more security to my system?

 

Why not use Ewido as an on demand scanner? Sort of a double check. Ewido does detect tracking cookies and such that Boclean dosen’t fix. I also run BoClean, I think it’s a good bit of software for straight up trojan detection at the front door.

 

i like ewido.... few days ago i had a virus.... avast found it but there was something downloading it into temp files... i scanned with ewido and spyware doctor and ewido found it... problem gone... i like to also use a squared and adaware and spybot.....

 

Exactly. I use NOD32 for real time protection but run ewido once a week when I do my scans. It never finds anything but it's good to have it there in case anything slips by NOD32.

 

Yes... you need it!!! Coz there are some other things that I think only Ewido can detects. I use the free version as an on-demand scanner and it really can find "something" that some others have misses... and if I got my new laptops I'll probably use the plus version for its real-time monitor protection.

 

i am trialling both TH and Ewido atm (i.e. deciding which one is better and will subscribe with a better one. any suggestion?). ewido seems to pick up more malicious files than TH according to my observation. however there are two files which TH picked up in "C:\RECYCLER\ .... " folder that Ewido could not. I can't seem to locate the \RECYCLER\ folder in my C drive hence the file.

 

You can't find the Recycler folder because it is hidden:-

Just empty your recycle bin before you scan and you will not pick up these 'junk' files.

 

Thanks again TopperID I realised that after I had cleaned my Recycle Bin these files were completely gone.
