Hi John, SUPERAntispyware is a free (or paid, if you want live protection) program that does a good job, from
www.superantispyware.com/ and, yes, it is advisable to have an anti-spyware program as well as your antivirus program, if nothing else because no one anti-spyware program can catch all spyware. Although some antivirus programs do also incorporate some anti-spyware protection, conditions apply (as above). ----- Original Message ----- From: "john" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, April 10, 2009 4:45 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] ad-aware Hi list. I have been using ad-aware SE for some time and found it very jaws friendly with the jaws scripts. I note, however, that as of April 1, on the lavasoft website, that the definitions updates are no longer supported, only the AE(paid) edition is. I have a couple of specific questions and a general one. 1 are the scripts useable with the AE? 2. would the ad-aware AE add much more protection to the Avast antiviral program that I am running now, or is there another free program that works well with Jaws that does the same job? This brings up the general question that I have not quite gotten a grip on... is it necessary in addition to a general antiviral program such as Avast, or AVG,etc, to run programs,such as Spybot, Ad-aware etc., for spyware, trojans etc?If so, is there a resource or website that lists which programs are best suted for which threats? I very much appreciate the points I have learned from the very helpful listers, and thanks in advance for your suggestions.
