which antispyware to choose?
« on: December 21, 2006, 04:46:03 PM »
i use avast home edition and comodo firewall and i need a free antispyware program with real-time protection..do u know anyone?i know spyware terminator but i think it would use a lot of ram combinating with a firewall and an antivirus..do u know a antispyware program with real time protection that won't use a lot of ram and won't ask me for permission to run various applications?coz that's a feature of comodo and i want the antispyware just to have a on-demand and on access scanner..thnx in advance..i rly appreciate this..

For scanning:
1. a-squared
2. Free AVG Antispyware
3. SUPERantispyware
4. Spyware Terminator
5. Windows Defender, SpyBot and Ad-aware are others.

For immunization:
SpywareBlaster or IESpyAd  ;)
The best things in life are free.
