Windows Defender Beta 2 vs. SpyBot S&D 1.4

[Guest]

I've been successfully using SpyBot S&D for a few years now, and it has
worked great on my PCs. I rarely get any spyware. So today I found out
about Windows Defender Beta 2, and my question is: WHICH ONE DO YOU
RECOMMEND USING, OR IF THEY DON'T CONFLICT, DO YOU RECOMMEND USING BOTH OF
THEM???

Thanks gang!!!

I use both- I just have tea time turned off in spybot

Thanks Robin. I also have the Tea Timer unchecked in S&D advanced mode.
Maybe I'll sit tight and continue using SpyBot 1.4 only, unless you recommend
both. Right now, just using SpyBot has been fine for me. I don't want to
add more stuff to my laptop unless it would really benefit me. What do you
think? Thanks again...

Windows Defender's real-time protection is well worth having.

So is Tea Timer.

I have not run them concurrently for the past few months but they seemed to
play well together when I had.

remember WD is still in beta mode- if you want to test it then put it on
your laptop- if you want to wait till it comes out of beta and all the nooks
and cranys are fixed then you can wait. that is your choice.
