What are the best free anti - spyware out there?

1. What are the three best free anti - spyware softwares out there? 2. Whatever the three best are, do they use up a lot of resources or slow down the computer? 3. What are the pros and cons of using each one? 4. Is it bad to have three anti - spyware programs on my computer?

Responses:

I actually recommend having 3 different programs installed, as they all do different things well: 1. Spyware Terminator spywareterminator.com / real - time, turn off web security guard 2. Superantispyware superantispyware.com / no realtime; for scanning 3. Spybot Search&Destroy safer - networking.org / one of the first programs, so scanning not great; use immunise feature
I would say Ad - Aware and Spyware Doctor don't know anymore, sorry. IMO Ad - Aware is currently the best one, as it scans spyware, adware and malware. I don't know about other people, but my anti - spyware is not running the whole time, I just do some regular checkups every now and then. Therefore, I doubt you would have to worry about system resources. Also, these programs don't take up much space on the hard drive 100mb max. I don't really see any pros or cons for using each one, I guess you should just try them and see what suits you best. Finally, no it is not bad to have three anti - spyware programs on your computer. Hope I helped Ad - Aware: lavasoftusa.com / Spyware Doctor: pctools.com / spyware - doctor /
Ad - Aware and Spybot - Search & Destroy are the only ones I can think of. They shouldn't slow your computer significantly. There's probably not much difference, just personal preference. I don't think there's any harm in multiple anti - spyware; it's not an anti - virus program
You do not need 3. It is not a bad idea to use 2, especially if one is just a scanner and not running real - time protection. I use AVG free anti - spyware which runs real - time for 30 days, then drops back to scanner only, you can manually update it and scan with it at intervals, then I use the free Spyware doctor starter edition from Google updater as it does provide real - time protection, although the pay version has more real time services. This does keep the machine clean, I have hundreds of customers using this combination along with AVG free anti - virus
spyware terminator is definitely the best, spybot sux a*s!
spybot search and destroy - AVG - AVAST

The best Two are Ad aware from lavasoft.com / and Spybot Search and Destroy from safer - networking.org / en / index.html Ad aware is a 27mb download and Spybot is 35 mb download It is good to run both programs on your computer because one program will pick up spyware the other one doesnt.
