    Erm...Yes, so.....?
  • Does the OP use the Immunize feature on Spybot? If so, does it get updated regularly?
    Where there's a will, there's a way to get something cheaper from somewhere else!! :D

    All updated weekly, exept Avira which does itself, and yes to above
  • I think running them all weekly is overkill anyway. Get rid of Spybot. It's rubbish.

    I run the following weekly.........Avira, Spybot,Malewarebytes,Superantispyware............i now always run Spybot last, yet i still find it finds more threats, usually that the other 3 put together. So is there any point in running the other 3? (This is not spam)
    How do you manage to pick up so much stuff? I also run those 4 programs weekly, and they seldom (maybe once or twice a year) find anything (other than a few cookies).
