i have personally tried spyware doctor, i dunno abt u guys, but that piece of crap sucked up all my system's resources. i could not even get the start button to work and task manager cannot be brought up to kill off the application. what i did was, right click on the taskbar icon, waited for about 5 minutes, then the context menu popped up, and clicked shut down. friggin 5 minutes just to get a context menu to come out!!!! after it is shut down, the task manager and the start menu all popped out doh.gif

There's no use saying that the piece of software is not good, it could be due to some other programs sucking up your resource or maybe your rig is too old and underpowered? I'm not insulting or offending anyone here. Just my 2 cents. icon_rolleyes.gif

You mean that a lot of people complained that their systems lag when using Spyware Doctor? Depends on the specs. Minimum 1GB RAM with proper settings and tweak and I doubt it'll lag.

had u ever tried it on ur pc yet?  hmm.gif

Nope but I doubt that'll lag because if you have the proper tuning then it wouldn't be so bad. With 1GB to 2GB RAM it wouldn't be so bad would it? I'm gonna download it.

Kapersky or you can try SUPERad aware

SuperAntiSpyware Pro should be sufficient for an independent Anti-Spyware program.

actually i think a lot of times it's not just about the efficiency of the scan rates of the scanners. it's a balanced ratio between its' resource utilization as well.

have you guys tried malwarebytes anti-malware?
*
Yes, I've tried Malwarebytes Anti-Malware but I still prefer SuperAntiSpyware Pro for it's less taxing utilization of resources. tongue.gif

dont AV provide Anti-Malware features?

Not necessarily AV solution provides anti-spyware/anti-malware. As for me, I'm using Norton Anti-virus '09, SuperAntiSpyware Pro, Zone Alarm Firewall Pro and Windows Defender. thumbup.gif
PS: I'm damn paranoid. sweat.gif

Dude, please show us a screenshot of all the listed antivirus programs in one single/same OS. whistling.gif If you can, then you'd be the Godfather (notworthy.gif), I've tried installing Spyware Doctor, Spybot Search and Destroy and Lavasoft Ad-aware and all I got was conflicts. shakehead.gif So, I'd really like to see how you pull it off.

Well, even though I've got NIS '09 installed, I still have SuperAntiSpyware Pro installed.
