Hi

I just wanted some advice please, I would like to install a free version of
something like spybot/spydoctor on my computer but didn’t know which
one to install.

At the moment I have CA security centre anti virus running & window defender and the CA spyware is I think expensive to buy so wanted to know what free ones are out there that I could download and that would be compatible with CA security as I have had problems in the past with it not being compatible with some Programs.

Thank you in advance as I know somebody out there will be able to help :)

    You state that you already have Windows Defender. What are you trying to achieve?

    Just got rid of Windows defender myself, it never found anything and occasionally ran away with the PC's resources, for antispyware/adware I use Spybot search and destroy, AVG Anti-Spyware, and Adaware SE personal. They are all free and tend to pick up different stuff.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.
