I have spybot search and destroy, I used to have the free scanning only version of Webroot spy sweeper but I have uninstalled it when I have upgraded to AVG malware product.
I have made a scan with the 3 of them, AVG found 234 threats, mainly tracking cookies, and deleted one, spy sweeper the usual 8 he found at every scan since I downloaded it 3 weeks ago (obviously I couldn't do anything about them as I needed to pay to have full use of the software, and I find it expensive, especially that I am not convinced of the efficiency of it), and spybot has found nothing for the last 3 months.
All 3 are/was updated regularly, surely spybot should have spotted a few that AVG had caught, is it worth keeping spybot or should I look for another better free antispyware to complement AVG, and if so which one?
Has anyone used Panda Anti Rootkit, is it any good?
