Topic: Battle of the Free Spyware Protection

Spybot is pissing me the fuck off. Right now im running AVG 8 for AV (dont bother, the others annoy me) and Spybot S&D for spyware. But lately SB has been crashing and not updating, and something got passed it because now my AVG wont update either, even though the internet is fine and everything else works.

So something hit me, and AVG is now kicking errors in IE so i need something to get this shit off here.

God dammit i hate windows.

MalwareBytes might help ya.

I have not used SuperAntiSpyware but have heard very good things about it.

"SuperAntiSpyware" sounds like something i would ignore or see on a popup. My paranoia says most AS software has spyware packaged in it.....i will look at those though, thanks.

Both are exceptionally popular downloads on File Hippo.  Along with utilities like CCLeaner.

I wasnt able to download either, 404 errors. It's the virus fucking with me. Going to fix my Ubuntu issue then i will download them via linux and move them to shared.

Be back in a bit
