Default What do you use to check for Spyware
Hi,

What do you use for your Anti-Virus Software and your Anti-Spyware Software

I use AVG Free edition as Anti-Virus and Microsoft Defender free edition for Spyware

According to the nerdy nerds i talk to for complete protection you will need!
AVG anti-virus!
Spybot search and destroy!
Ad Aware!
Spyware Guard!
and Spyware Blaster!
Spybot and Ad Aware are after infection programs!
Spyware Guard and Spyware Blaster are active programs to prevent infection!

All are free and available at this site!

Windows defender is unfortunately not up to the job.

I do use it, however, in conjunction with Avast, Spybot, Spyblaster , all of which are free, and which together provide as comprehensive package as I'll need.

Never had a virus, so never needed to find out how good Avast is at removal

Sounds like you're on the wrong site.

Some sites charge for the download.
