Vista Tutorial - MalwareBytes anti malware or spybot?

What would you recommend based on your experience?

spybot search and destroy and super anti spyware free edition ...get them both

they the 2 best free ones IMO

Hi Dinesh, based on my own experience I use both Spybot, i dont use the resident tea timer but i do use the browser immunisation (Which has blocked me a few times from connecting to blacklistrd links) i also scan my system with it once a week on Wed. when updates are released and re immunise. Also i use malwarebytes as a stand alone scanner as it specialises in polymorphic malware. I recently picked up a badly infected, unpatched computer. After about a week of scanning, cleaning and trying to repair corrupt, missing and broken files i was convinced it was clean but i had read a lot about malwarebytes so i thought i would give it a try. Alas it found another 2 trojans everything else had missed! I then installed it on my Laptop (I am very vigilant about security on my laptop) ran a scan and it found well established malware in my registry that had not been detected by my other security software. Well thats my experience i use both and for very different reasons

I use them both. Been very happy with Spybot for years, and recently added Malwarebytes when the newest version added x64 support.

hello:

---THANK YOU for posting this topic again---i have wanted to try SPYBOT - (search & destroy) on my laptop, but when I go to the site it shows like a dozen items listed to choose from to download---WHICH ONE?---
---I have Comodo-firewall now + Avast a/v + Windows defender---/seems like enough protection to me, no?/---



peace

Hi Kikidee,

You can just go to the site here: The home of Spybot-S&D!

And click on your language, say English, then click here:





Then here:




Then finally, pick any one you like of the Mirror sites here:

Hello airbot:

---thank you for the info---I already have the site in my faves; and it is on the last page with the MIRROR-links that I do not know which one to pick from????---waaaaaah---(me not know which is what-who-where-why-wink-whine, etc.)---as in, what is the difference between them all - which would YOU use?---



peace

They're all fine to use, but go ahead and use one of these, they would be my pick. That's as direct as you'll get probably.

Hello airbot:

---I just downloaded the Spybot program, and my Comodo-firewall will not allow the program to run in 'temporary'-mode---(the only 2 options in the file; run + exit)---any suggestions?---thank you---

peace

Both.
