I have the new free version of adaware which is really more like a virus scanner these days. I run ESET smart security as virus/firewall suite.

I know that running two firewalls is a bad idea as they can conflict with each other but could something like adaware and ESET conflict with each other?

I just load spywareblaster on my computer out of habit. Does not scan real time though. Probably do not even need it but i am so used to problems with friends and family i install this and a few other bits and pieces out of habit.

 

not heard of that before.

 

I had noticed a slight hit so I decided to delete adaware as i don't like it anyhow and am gonna give that spywareblaster a shot. I might even get spybot as I had it on my old pc and seemed to work well.

 

I suppose its the old addage use what you trust

 

I used to use adaware, spybot, spywareblaster, pestpatrol and others.

Then I had to buy a new PC, just so it would boot up the same day I turned it on...

 

You bought a penguin!!! lol

 

I went back to using spybot Search & destroy

 

I used to use Adaware when I had XP as my OS, now I use the inbuilt Windows Defender on Vista 64Bit Ultimate Edition.

 

'i love it when people ask windows questions or talk about windows dev and someone's very serious answer to the question is "use linux, noob"'
