well - I've had spywareblaster and spywareguard for eons.
They were the only ones that supposedly guarded your
computer from getting those bugs in the first place. Now -
there seem to be more of them. I had adaware on here. I put
microsoft on here as protection from getting them - I didn't
know that I trused spywareblaster, and spywareguard hasn't
been updated in a few years. I've had spybot in the past.
When I got a bug that I couldn't remove, I put spywareguard
on to see if that would get rid of it. It didn't. That's
when I found spyware doctor - and it removed it. So, I never
bothered to remove spybot. Or, adaware. I only have 1
anti-virus - which is essential, and does different things
than the anti-spyware programs and I have a firewall
running - which, is essential, and does different things
than the anti-virus and anti-spyware programs.

ummmmm wouldn't it not be considered overkill to have so
MANY such programs?
I know it's obvious only one will not catch everything but
it seems you
would have to fill up the whole computer with JUST programs
to protect it
and THEN you still wouldn't catch all of it..... GAD!

You can't just rely on these two tools alone. I would also
recommend =
Ad-Aware (comes in Free edition and Pro edition), Spybot and
the new =
Microsoft AntiSpyware (previously from GIANT). And, of
course, make sure =
you have your antivirus program up-to-date, and your
firewall active.
