opinions please.......................

Bearskin:

Yes, I do use Superantispyware. It is basically used to remove adware/spyware/malware and other hijacks. I usually use it in tandam with Spybot Search and Destroy and Adaware. It has also been used by me as a spyware/malware scanner on my machines.

I am also in training as a malware removal trainee: I have used this program during practice log situations. It is quite useful if you have a scanner that does not pick up specific malware infections. I basically use SAS as an "On-Demand" scanner: This means that you use it as needed to remove the nasties.

I think SAS is a pretty good program, but you should always have multiple types of programs available to scan for malware/spyware. The KEY is that you don't want to run more then one of these programs concurrently This could cause conflicts with your machine, and could corrupt it, because the programs would fight each other. (Run 1 AV, 1 AS, and 1 Firewall at a time)

I am sure that others would agree with my statement above

I just updated it 15 minutes ago, and will be running it a little later.

It is one of the programs that I run at least once a week.

I am running WinXP, SP2, 512MB RAM,

Here is a list of some FREE Security/protection programs, ALL OF WHICH I USE, with the DOWNLOAD links included. They are all free. The only thing I have paid for is the hardware router. Note: [blue]" Anti-spyware programs complement each other. Thats because spyware definitions vary between anti-spyware programs. If you use multiple programs, you have a better chance of catching spyware." [/blue]: From = Kim Newsletter; 19Jan08 - >> http://www.komando.com/kimsclub/account-newsletters.aspx

Unlike some other 'free' firewalls, this is not a stripped down version but is the full, completely functional product.

An important thing to keep in mind, regardless of which anti-virus, anti-trojan, anti-worm, anti-malware, anti-spyware and firewall you use -

Note: The way I have mine set is to only notify me that updates are availiable, but to not download them automaticaly. Then I can check to be sure I get just the ones I want. I then click on "custom", and after the updates have been downloaded I look them over to see which ones I want, then disconnect from the net, disable firewall and anti-virus program, and then install the updates, and then re-enable the firewall and anti-virus programs before reconnecting to the net. = http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306525
