Well, until today i thought that might be one of hte better programs on the market for spyware, even in it's beta version. But after 97 days of only running it and not spyboth/ad-aware....and encountering some weird things, i finally ran the other two, ad-aware found 90 some issue's and spybot 57, wheras ms was not finding anything bad.

Guess it's not as good as i thought

Hrm.. interesting.

When was the last time you updated the deffinitions?

a friend of mine told that the ms beta has found some spyware on his computer that both ad-aware and spybot didn't

None of the anti-spyware software will find all of them. Everyone pretty much recommends to run 2 different programs.

I saw a test on TV the other day. They infected a computer with a bunch of different spyware (using kazaa lol). They ran spybot,Microsofts, and adware. In each case none found all the spyware, they where only about 75% effective.

they suggested using MS's with its real time turned on, and one of the others once in a while.

I run MS Antispyware, BOClean and Norton Anti Virus 2005.

I rarely have problems.

I do not think there is a single product out there that can do it all. (If there is, let me know)

I was running Mcafee Security Center 2005 what a pain in the ***, always says it has updates I do them, then like 10 min later another one...I just said screw it and went to normal Mcafee Enterprise 8...I might try antispy on it's own seperate from the Mcafee security center...maybe it will work better.. I also have MCafee Quick Clean 5.0 anyone use it? They find it works for messes shi!t uP?

+1 for FireFox, every client that I've switched to FireFox and Thunderbird (the Mozilla email client to replace Outlook Express) has seen a near-total elimination of spyware. Nothing like addressing a problem at the source.

I started using it just recently too and it caught all the problems I was having and now it isn't catching them I seem to have the same issue again. [img]graemlins/banghead.gif[/img] I'm getting very annoyed.
