I rread reviews and asked advice of feel RMN emeber,s but realize i don't realy know their qualfications. Since many of yu actualy wokr in technical support I thught you might have some special insight into waht programs work the best...

I used MAlwarebytes before i was not impressed and SuperantiSPyware looks legit it almost reminds me of the older versions of spy sweeper. (jugging by screenshot alone mind you.)

Spybot is ok, I don't have a anti-spyware/malware/virus installed atm though. Its free. Questionable effectiveness since many say you should stick to having 1 anti-virus since they can interfere with each other but I remember reading that Spybot is meant to complement having other security software installed.

I've heard a lot fo peole combon MBAm and SAS. and MBAM just blicked a suspcious site just before i typed this. however, i suspect that's aprt of the short-term pro trail.

I'm tempted to buy you a spy SAS it's only 19 bucks maybe when taxes come back or something note the maybe.

i use sophos, mostly cuz i get it free from school but also because it's really lightweight, doesn't have a stupid UI, and is generally just something that i hardly see unless it picks up something.
if i wasn't getting this for free i'd be using ESET NOD32 which is prob. the best IMO
