it wouldn't increase the amount of spyware, but the usage of ram. furthermore, you're running on Vista which consume higher resources, so end up will just lagging the system. perhaps u should enable protection from any 1 of them while keep the others for scanning purpose when necessary

Thanks for the clarification My system doesn't feel laggy to me though, but I will take your advice into consideration. Thanks a lot again!

it lies on the specs of your pc anyway. reducing programs that run in the background may lead to even better performance indeed

Any Conflict if I turn on Windows Defender real time, and I also enable Spyware Doctor real time protection & AVS real time at the same time?

Not suggested, though you can try. Preferably, reduced the amounts of Real Time Scanners.

Cheers!

funny nobody mentioned the formidable self acclaimed best anti spyware...Spy Sweeper 5.5

i used to use S& D spybot but it keep detects n cleaned the same spywares over n over....whenever i scan....it really suck imo....no real time in the first place...just cure =.=

while adaware has adwatch 2007 which is not bad, real time....but i did try tht under spysweeper catches more cookies (not critical tho) than any other anti spywares....it claimed 100% detection (in its website n top ten review anti spyware) n stay one notch ahead of all anti spyware....its very good imo....quite comprehensive shield scanner ....

i tried superantispyware Professional....yeah, the professional version....i dono why i uninstall it,hv realtime scanner but i feel sthg incomplete....myb i was wrong but i feel the resource hoggin n tray icon not nice lol....adwatch n spysweeper very cool tray icon lol

so currently i running ad watch 2007 n spy sweeper shield at the same time, real time, doesnt crash....i used to hv bitdefender 2008 n kaspersky 700125 running at same time too but i uninst kas halfway, leaving only bitd now...when real time, operate only one....if scan, use both to scan

dw, os on my centrino 1.5 still running smoothly, probly result from serious tweaking ...hehe...two heads better than one

Spybot S&D do have real-time protection
it is call TeaTimer, the protection for your registry entry

hi tan pang,

ic....actually last time i use SDS long time d, i didnt update it lol....but imho, many sfotwares , anitvirus n firewall even has registry guard...ie kaspersky 7 so i think is no big deal abt teatimer *if registry guard is all it does....

Please be aware that having a guard does not mean it is everything.

Cookies are in fact not important. You can use CCleaner for them.

You said Spybot detected the same Spyware again, and again, and again... What was it? Did you report to Spybot's Customer Support? I am very sure they will try their beast to help you.

Please do not be tricked into having a false sense of security. Constant Vigilance is needed.

Cheers!

I don't know about other software for registry entry protection...

but for the Adwatch and Adaware memory usage you said just now...
I agree... and because of its slow update too, I have delete it from my computer

kaspersky 7 ,bitdefender has the registry guard

for me registry guard would be a bit troublesm as I used to install/uninstall programs for testing... with it on, everytime it will prompt out for confirmation

i just got this new very good for specific stubborn spyware, trojan, hijacker, etc... that keep annoying my taskbar with fake alert popup when click they ask to buy... where the most popular Lavasoft brand free Ad-Aware SE cannot delete it... after trying some brands still fail... this one the free version works

Worth a try and best of all it's free too.

can try spycatcher express 2006 ..

I dun understand something. I'm using ad-adware personal edition. No matter how many time I scan, It dun have any effection. Once I use spyware doctor, i got around 300++ spyware. Ad-aware personal edition useless??

sum antispyware also define cookies as spyware ler.

ya.. I find out, all is cookies that spyware doctor get..
