NickS Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Hey guys! What's a great free anti-spyware that I can download? I've got this Spyware Doctor and it won't get rid of the spyware I got until I buy it online. Any suggestions? The infection's starting to spread...

NickS Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 Shiiiiitttt, is Sybot S&D necessary to have even if I have MalwareBytes? It just seems like a bit too big file to download and my connection is a bit too slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ray Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Based on my findings, it's an extremely useful tool. Probably better than what you have. Plus, It's a little different than the typical anti-spyware program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRX22B1998 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 (edited) If you get spybot s&d then make sure u turn off the resident program (SDHelper, teatimer) cos that eats a lot of ram etc and its fine without it. Spybot is good though, has the immunise thing which is good. I recommended to get both because when I scanned, malwarebytes found nothing, then i scanned with spybot and it found like 3 or 4 things. and yes they both had latest updates. So it's good to cover all bases. Unlike anti-virus programs, you can have multiple anti spyware programs without issues.

NickS Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 Spybot eats a lot of RAM? My computer is too slow and wondering what's causing it and installing Spybot might make things worse. Any reasons why my computer's slow? I tried out MailwareBytes and it found 24 adware. I seems alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charger Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 If Malwarebytes fails, then its more likely SuperAntiSpyware will find it. http://SuperAntiSpyware.com Don't have any Problems, SuperAntiSpyware, has some great protection. SpyBot, has begin to fail, use to be pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickS Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 Alright. Does MailwareBytes find any other spyware types, instead of adware? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRX22B1998 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 (edited) spybot chews up lots of RAM if you dont disable teatimer and sdhelper it works better than the others imo. that and malwarebytes works the best and is what i and my cousin at his computer shop uses. did you not read what i wrote, or as soon as you saw "chews up ram" just stopped reading the sentence lol.
