eh i didnt like it on my comp caused me too many issues. and i use adware and love that instead guess it comes to prefreance
 
It works... I had it for years. downloaded the new Microsoft windows live onecare and I found issues on the cpu I had it on. so Long story short it works but it is a free program Parker. Not a top notch freeby.
For the record onecare also found issues on my other cpu that runs Norton and had Mcafee

SpyBot is good software, does a good job picking up stuff my AVG package misses.
Whatever you run, don't depend on one program to find everything. Have a primary antivirus and anti spyware program to actively protect your system, and another set of security programs to do redundant scans.

But um...wouldn't it be a better idea to ask about a program BEFORE installing it?
 
I used to rock Spybot S & D. But since I got my Comcast internet back I have just been using Mcafee. I never had a problem with Spybot though.
 
windows denfender is constaly on my vista lappy it works but i have avast 4.9 pro and comodo firewall one of the best out there and then malwarbtyes and my comp is clean nothing on it
 
(you have to pay for this info now)

i have avg, spybot, ccleaner, and adaware. this comp hasn't been reformatted in over 4 years and it still runs like the day i installed windows. my laptop, on the other hand, was the community laptop for about 2 days in college, it had 11 viruses and i had to reformat it.

Isn't Onecare Live a purchase program or do you know where to get it free other than a trial version?

It is a paid subscription yes. I got a 30 day free and now I'm buying it. I like it, works well. Odd whip said its defender caz defender is on all my rigs and one care found issues that it did not.

Hey Bank, it's part of One Care and free. You pay more to get the other stuff One Care offers. 🙂

That's what I use. It updates itself through Windows Update too. It's very non-intrusive as well. (doesn't bug you about everything)

unless your running vista, it asks you about everything, I went to turn my computer on this morning and windows defender popped up, said "you sure buddy?" [yes] [no]
