greywolf Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 I am currently running the shareware version of Spysubtract which I will have to pay for in nineteen days if I decide to keep it. Would Spybot do the job just as well?Regards to you all,Greywolf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Man Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 I use Lavasoft's Ad-aware Personal Edition and SpyBot S&D and I am quite happy with them. Both free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-pops- Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 As per the Captain. Why pay for this protection when very capable programs are available without any outlay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greywolf Posted January 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 Thanks folks,I will use Spybot when my Spysubtract trial runs out. I am interested in the anti trojan program you mention Andsome. Is it freeware and and can you point mr in the direction where I can find out about it. Indeed, I would like to find more info on the threats posed by trojan viruses.Best regards to you all for taking the time to advise me.greywolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greywolf Posted January 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 Hi nellie2,You have given me some good advice during the past week and I am grateful.I have checked the site where I can download the anti trojan software. However, before I do , would running that and spybot and adaware together with my dedicated anti-virus take up much ram space?Best regards,Greywolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nellie2 Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 Spybot and Adaware are stand alone products, they don't run in the background and you should reboot after use so any ram used will be cleared on reboot. I'm not sure about A squared, you can have it running in the background or just scan on a regular basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greywolf Posted January 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 Hi,You have cleared up any doubts I had and I will take your advice and download A squared.Best regards,Greywolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
