What kind of anti spy-ware do you use?

I just used to use Ad-aware and Mcaffe Virus Scan, but i guess my virus scan updating period passed and hell broke lose on my computer. So what do you guys use to keep safe?

Spybot: Search and Destroy, as well as Ad Aware and I believe Startup Cop managed to catch the spyware that infested my computer after my inexperienced friend clicked "OK" on the popup security policy software install statements. Plus, they were free.

The simple solution: Check your computer for viruses once a month. Check for spyware once a week. And switch to a safer, and all around better browser, Firefox.


Also, if you dont have a firewall.... hardware (router) or software.. get one now. hardware is the way to go, cuz software ones bug you to much.

Ad-Aware 6.0 (Free) and Spybot Search & Destroy.

If you MUST use IE (for example, your computer is severely underpowered), then get the Google toolbar and make sure SDHelper.exe is running to aid your IE blocking pages.*

You should just use Safari. I use it and don't need any spyware removal.

I just cleaned out my comp yesterday of all the viruses and spyware got 7 virus, and some spyware. I dont normaly have anti-virus i can usaly kill all the viruses on my comp, normaly uses zonealarm and ad aware SE full, by the moment i have norton anti-virus 2, cuz i have just formated and got alot of virurses direcly after cuz i was pluged in the network on a lan whith lot of viruses .
But i think the anti-virus progz slow down your comp speed 2 much, atleast norton do that alot, so i usaly run without.
