On-Demand Scanner

[kenpg]

Thanks for the info . I'm thinking of using Spyware Terminator and Spybot S&D, which has residents scanners.

There's another term which i don't really understand. What is On-demand scanner? Is it the same as resident scanners?

I'm also considering using Comodo BOClean. Is it compatible with Avast?

If i use 2 different kinds of Anti-spyware programmes with resident scanners, will both of the programmes contradict each other?

Hi Kenpg,
Avast! isn't an antispyware software, please keep this in mind
On-demand scanner means that you can decide WHEN you want to scan your HDD with Avast!
...this isn't like "resident" wich means that Avast! is working on background
Sorry I'm not good with english language

You also need to take care if using the resident protection in S&D as the TeaTimer can kill the avast system tray icon, ashDisp.exe.
