No one anti-malware tool does it all. Both Adaware and Spybot work in
Vista.

RE: Anti-Malware Tools

I had been putting SpyBlaster, Spybot & Ad-aware in all my previous Vista
Builds while I was beta testing. Should I put them in my RTM?

Re: Anti-Malware Tools

Yes, I quite agree & tell my clients the same... you can't be over-protected
AND they don't all look for & find the same stuff... so reckon I'll put them
in again. Thanx for comments.

Re: Anti-Malware Tools

Yes, I know they do... and they are now (back) in my Vista installation.

Cheers,
