SpyBot's -SD Resident?

joe2cool

Hi just wondered if it is worth while having the SD resident (tea-timer) running on start up?

Thx

personally i've always had tea-timer turned off., just eats up memory and cpu. and now after switching to malwarebytes which i run every night, I dont use spybot anymore

Tends to create more problems than it fixes
Personally I dont use it (But I DO use the 'immunise' feature)

Some forums suggest that Spybot itself has passed its best, and that Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware is now more reliable/useful. I would agree, and have stopped running Spybot (and Ad-Aware too, for the same reason...)

gotta say, I only use the peripheral tools of spybot (immunise and the system tools which are pretty good), never use tea-timer or scanner.

Free is fine (Needs updating and scanning manually)
