yes, you are right friend, I meant anti-spyware I have McCafee and prevx1 and I was asking if I should go?

Hi there,\n\nThere really is no need for another layer of protection as Prevx1 is already protecting you from not only viruses, but also spyware, adware, trojans, rootkits, hackers and more.\n\nIt is a little known fact that Prevx1 also currently has the strongest protection and removal capabilities of any security suite available today, so I would imagine having Prevx1 and McAfee as your backup will be more than sufficient.\n\nThere are a lot of people on here who recommend question askers to load up there systems with 3, 4, 5, or even more security programs which really aren't necessarry.  These are most likely people who have AVG, Spybot and Ad-aware installed which are simply not as good programs as they were a couple of years ago (these three used in conjunction are only protecting users from 60% of threats).  This is why people then need another couple of programs on top of these, when in reality they should be dropped as they are sub-standard programs.\n\nHope this helps.

I have used them all over time, but for some reason I prefer Avast, there is a free version and one you pay for the one you pay for you get free for 60 days to try it out than switch to the free one if you cannot afford the pay one.remember no matter what you choose keep it updated, for spyware I use spybot its free and adaware its free, another good program thats free is ccleaner, makes your computer run like new again.

No one can say, something is the best,\nIt deponds on what problems you have, there are some other good anti-malware and anti-spywares available such as , windows One Care, and Microsoft Antispyware.

Hi,\n\nI would disagree with the previous poster who recommended AVG.  I would actually strongly suggest the opposite and that you steer very clear of it!  Many people seem to think it's a good piece of software - although I tend to think this is more to do with it being free rather than it's protection capabilities.  If you do a quick browse for Security Vendor Protection Scores you will find that AVG scores pretty much the lowest of all - many viruses are now sailing straight through their defences.\n\nI would recommend a relatively new security program called Prevx1.  This is an All-In-One solution that is continually proving to detect, protect and remove more malware (virii, spyware, adware, trojans, rootkits, etc) than all other security vendors (see the Yahoo news article below).  Because it is an all-in-one solution, this also mean you no longer need 3 or 4 separate programs (anti- virus /spyware / adware) to deal with each type of threat.\n\nThey are currently offering a Free Trial of their product which you can download from here:\nhttp://www.prevx.com

I would advise only using adware/spyware removers from credible companies and organizations.  Always do a search before installing something onto your computer if you have not heard of it before.\n\nFor spyware solutions, Spybot Search & Destroy is great.  If you are willing to try Microsoft's beta, consider MS Defender.  Both are currently free.\n\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=435bfce7-da2b-4a6a-afa4-f7f14e605a0d&DisplayLang=en\n\nDon't forget to always update the spyware definitions before scanning.\n\nThe best way to prevent spyware is to not go to suspicious websites, open unknown attachments, click on links from spam, etc.  Also, clear your cookies and run your anti-spyware program from time to time.

If you are going to load spybot search & destroy, i would use the advance tools startup manager in it rather than msconfig. Much better tool.

First try to remove the spyware with the McAfee program.\n\nIf it doesn't work, for other spyware solutions, Spybot Search & Destroy works very well.  If you are willing to try Microsoft's beta, you can also consider defender.  Both are currently free.\n\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=435bfce7-da2b-4a6a-afa4-f7f14e605a0d&DisplayLang=en\n\nUse these software programs to remove your spyware.  It should prevent your McAfee from warning you with those pop ups.\n\nAlways remember that an ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure.  That said, do not visit unknown websites, open suspicious emails and attachments, or click on links that you don’t know what it’s for.  Also, always keep your anti-spyware and antivirus programs on.  These simple guidelines will save you from hours of headaches with pop-up ads and computer slow down.  Good luck and have a nice day!

I have tried virtually all of the free spyware removal programs offered and found that only two of them live up to their hype:\n\n1. Spybot Search & Destroy\n2. Spyware Blaster\n\n1. SpyBot-Search & Destroy 1.4\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html\n\n2. SpywareBlaster 3.5.1\nhttp://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html\n\nSpyware Blaster prevents spyware from being loaded on to your computer (through a list of known spyware and malware sites, which are added to your "Restricted sites" security section in your browser, after you have installed the program and activated all of the protection in its database) and it works silently in the background.\n\nBoth of these programs are freeware of course.\n\nI am not a big fan of Ad-Aware, regardless of all of the wonderful testimonials from others as to *how well* it works. While it does find and clean adware per se, what it usually detects are minor threats (like MRUs - whoopee). I believe that the free version of Ad-Aware is extremely overrated, but you should still try it yourself and arrive at your own conclusions.

if you have a spyware problem, then you definetely need some professional help, fortunately companies like microsoft and symantec are aiding for free all computer users, since this spyware problem is actually doing so much harm to their business that most large companies like ibm and microsoft are teaming up to try to eradicate this problem.\n\nI suggest you find a complete resource against spyware with free distributable programs, one such resource could be found here:\n\nto completely protect yourself go to:\n\nhttp://umgarticles.atspace.com/spyware.htm\n\ngive it a look.

Hi\n\nIn my opinion there's no point installing 3 programs to do the same job 1 application can do better.\n\nDownload and install a product called Prevx1 - it is an All-in-One solution that protects you against viruses, spyware, adware, trojans, hackers, etc, and tests have proven it is protecting it's users sooner and against more malware than all leading security competitors.\n\nThey are currently offering a 60 free trial of their full product which you can download from the link below.  Certainly worth giving a go.\n\nhttp://info.prevx.com/downloadremove.asp
