I have the following software installed on my PC. Two questions, is this sufficient and should any be done away with.

Adaware
AVG 8
Malwarebytes
CCleaner
Spybot
Spywareblaster
Superantispyware
WinPatrol.

Are any others better for replacemant?

Malwarebytes (fine)

Spybot (could use threatfire)

[strike]Spywareblaster[/strike]

Superantispyware (fine)

Personally id keep 'spyware blaster' and remove Ad-aware, AVG8 and winpatrol

If you DO remove AVG 8, uninstall it then use the removal tool (Else youll hit problems later on)
Use the 32 bit AVG removal tool

Id replace AVG with AVIRA anti virus

Download AVIRA ANTI VIRUS PERSONAL (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION')

Avast
Threatfire
Pctools
All autoupdate

Malwarebytes
Superantispyware
Free versions run as on demand scanners,so update when needed.

Using a resident scanner seems pointless if it doesen`t update automaticaly.
