SUPERAntiSpyware - Scanning Control

[Bellzemos]

Hm, before that last program update it really took long to update, at least here. For some seconds the whole system was frozen, but now that's got better. MBAM doesn't have such problems, it's updates get installed really fast.

I have not used SUPERAntiSpyware since I installed Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (MBAM) as its scan takes ages and never finds anything.

SUPERAntiSpyware (SAS) anever finds anything because avast! antispyware module does a great job.

Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (MBAM) finds fp's.

Given both comments and the fact that the avast anti-spyware has found nothing on my system should I also remove avast

The answer is as obvious as the others saying SAS and MABM don't find anything on their systems, "I literally don't expect them to find anything given the proactive measures I take." So does the fact that all three find nothing make them bad security applications, clearly not.

As has been mentioned many times a single application isn't going to give 100% protection.
