Could I ask a few pro's about which package(s) you prefer to use, and
reasoning behind this.
I'm using WinXP pro and would like to install anti-spyware. It's widely
known that AdAware and Spybot are the current big two...and sure there are
some up and comers and other good ones. Also, McAfee now has one.
Most people say to install more than one package, but it seems to me that
"loading up" with multipe packages creates a lot a lot to install, manage,
and keep updated, for diminishing returns. AdAware is the most downloaded
and seems to get rave reviews. Spybot also gets great reviews and has great
extras like a file-shredder and start-up manager, but screenshot I saw
looked 1990's.
I'm thinking about installing only two... Ad-aware and McAfee AntiSpyware,
since it would seem certain McAfee would keep getting better and have a
rapidly growing base of definition files with the McAfee empire of resources
behind it.
-What do you think about this plan and pro's/con's of...
-Ad-aware SE Personal-
-Spybot Search & Destroy-
-McAfee Anti-Spyware-
Thanks,
George
