Which one to use?

Tuna · 06-14-2004, 01:14 AM

all of the above

Yngwie · 06-14-2004, 01:15 AM

yep, use both. Why go with just one when you can have both

Drake · 06-14-2004, 01:16 AM

Spybot picks up things that adaware misses and vice versa so I use both and haven't had spyware problems since.

I only use adaware, but it's handy to have both installed just in case. Of course, prevention is better than cure - get a good firewall and anti virus as well.

I use Adaware and Pestpatrol. Both respond to different. Since I have them...... I don't have problems.

i'm leery of using spyware removers now, last week i used Ad-Aware and I removed the shit it found but one thing it couldn't remove and it gave me an alert box that asked me if I wanted to remove whatever it was the next time i booted up. So I clicked yes. I never got back into my computer - cost me 350 bucks and three days - not sure what happened, seems like it triggered a badass virus, not sure if that's possible but it seems too coincidental that the virus went nuts after running Ad-Aware.

i should have let sleeping dogs lie maybe and got rid of the virus with anti-virus software.

i'm using this now http://www.javacoolsoftware.com
i want software that stops the shit before it gets downloaded but also isn't a nuisance. I was just on mcafee.com looking at their
spyware prevention software. maybe i'll buy it.

i can't wait for the class action suits that are going to come against these fuckers - huge money involved here.
