    under the impression both do

    me too.

    Malwarebytes has always done the trick for me each and everytime. I use Sas to cleans up anything that has been missed by Mwb-Tracking cookies etc... plus the realtime scanning feature and Browser highjack feature are a big bonus .

    It didnt do the one I had, I had MWB and trust internet security av and only SAS actually removed the rootkit mwb detected but couldn't remove it, hence why I got it

    it can detect them but none of the tools is totally effective hence on here I tell people to do Mbam , then combofix , then if still there then Superanti

    I agree no program is 100% I just find SAS seems to be better for me, MWB is good but to get best you need to pay for it for the preventative protection which only comes with the paid version

    Personally id rather use the free products but use them wisely
    ie ~ use NOSCRIPT with firefox so I 'know' I cant possibly get infected via a website
    Scan any dodgy email attachments or downloads before running them
    Not clicking any dodgy looking links via facebook or msn etc

    Basically, being a little smarter than the 'click happy' generation

    If somone really hasnt a clue what theyre doing then id suggest paying for the full KASPERSKY suite as it 'should' take care of most problems (Though id still use NOSCRIPT as its bomb proof)
    :idea:
