the ball just turned. we used to have av inclu anti-spy defns.

but now webroot has in its spysweeper 5.2, decided to include av defns.
it uses the SOPHOS av engine.
but its only an on-demand scanner !

I am happy with Spybot S&D but only thing is it doesnt have an ontime protection! like spysweeper

 

[sakumar79]

If I remember correctly, Spybot S & D has realtime protection through Teatimer and SDHelper (go to Advanced Menu and look at Tools->Resident)... I havent used it so I am not sure if this is what you want...

[rakeshishere]

Hmmm..SOPHOS antivirus engine? Letz see its progress...As of now standalone players are good for me.

[paul_007]

spyware s & d works 4 me .....but i will try this one

 

[rakeshishere]

You mean Spybot. Anyway, spybot is quite crap nowadays. Dont even compare spybot to this one. Its far superior.

R u Ok Mr indyanIt may not boast like others but it has the decent features what others provide u and its free

 

[ashu_dps]

@rakesh : hey rakesh indyan is right, have seen n heard it evrywhere that spybot's detection has bcum quite low than what it used to be n nw mch btr are avlbl than it

Bt yes its free n still serves many of its purposes well n so i also use it

 

[rakeshishere]

Rakesh what is the most important thing in a spyware cleaner? Its the detection rate.

Oh Yes..I didnt know

And if you have seen the shooutouts carried out in last year or so, you would know that spybot peformed quite poorly in all of them. In most cases Webroot came on top (other notable one is spydoctor from pctools).

Whatever May be the tests carried and results shown A free product has its Importance till Now which is the best deal

 

[anandk]

adaware, avg (earlier ewido) are the good freeware anti-spys 2de imo
among paid ones spywaredoctor and spysweeper r good.
a-squared is a great freeware anti-trojan/malware

ya spybot detection rate has dropped, true maybe its author is not motivated enuf these days...

 

[anandk]

Oh, well i see that he has been banned.

who / what !?
