Hi Folks,
We've been using MalwareBytes and Spybot Search & Destroy for periodic
full-system scans to detect malware. We don't use them for real-time
defense; we have Avast for that.
Lately, on machines where MalwareBytes will pick up one or two items,
Spybot has not been detecting anything except the same tracking cookie. I
had been thinking about ditching it for a while, and then today discovered
that the 1.6.2 version no longer detects any pattern updates. The 2.x
version does, but it is bloatware and a PITA to configure--and in the end,
it doesn't find anything unless you configure it to detect things that no
anti-malware in its right mind should detect.
So I am looking for a new option for periodic full-system scans.
SuperAntiSpyware seems to get good reviews. Does anyone here have an
opinion on it?
Are there other options I should consider for free anti-spyware/malware
system-scans?
Thanks very much.
