Is SUPERanitspyware better than Malwarebytes?

Thought id post a link to nice little free antispyware program that you guys may want to test.

So far I’ve found it to be a little more efficient than Malwayrebytes when scanning.

On several occasions I’ve scanned my hdd's with Malwarebytes and it reported nothing found. I Then i run a scan with SUPERanitspyware and it returned 10 tracking cookies found.

Features include: Real-Time Blocking, Repairs broken Internet Connections, Schedule Quick, Complete or Custom Scans Daily or Weekly. It also has a great little feature to prevent browser hijacking. The other great Plus Plus is I haven’t noticed any slowdown at bootup either.

All in all a great little tool :T

    Id say malwarebytes is better at the real nasty viruses and trojans. SAS good as a backup and finding cookies (Which are generally nothing anyways)

    I'd happily recommend both with a decent anti-virus e.g. Avira / Avast. That's all the protection I need. Well Firefox + Adblock, Windows firewall and service pack 3 for XP of course! And a HW firewall in the router.

    it will be used according to your system usage. malwarebytes is good in folder hacking viruses and sas for backups.

    I found SAS was the only product that could remove a rootkit, MWB couldn't

    Is Malwarebytes unable to remove rootkits?
