Thanks Dinesh
Is Spybot real time protection?

**dinesh** · 06-19-2009

Spybot is free and gives solid real time protection and also it integrates iteself in IE so even if you visit malicious websites, it will let you know.
Malware bytes gives real time protection but with the paid version.

I would not use both cause they conflect with one another.

I m using both on the same computer and they never conflicted with eachother neither they have hampered my computer's performance ever.
