| | Re: Adware Pro Sorry, I started a new thread. (The reason would have been obvious from the other thread). SupAntiSpyware took 4 hs. 22 min to do a full scan, and 1h. 25 min for " quick scan ". That's unacceptable. I un-installed it already. May be I'll just rely on Windows Defender ? t-4-2 "FromTheRafters" <erratic@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:uOh2VBktJHA.4648@xxxxxx Quote: > There is no reason to replace one with the other unless they interfere > with one another in some way. > > "t-4-2" <dhuang1@xxxxxx> wrote in message > news:eTM%23z9atJHA.3988@xxxxxx Quote: >>I am thinking of replacing SuperAntiSpyware free edition with Adware Pro. >> Comments/suggestions please ? >> t-4-2 > |
