PC spyware question: My BitDefender quit scanning so I downloaded Spybot S&D for free...?

Question

My PC is clean but why did BitDefender (that i paid for) quit scanning? I checked the settings and cannot figure out why it quit working.??

I downloaded Spybot cause its free....what are your opinions of it? Thanks for answering!

Answer 1

I think it is great, though it does have a few bugs such as false alarms and not finding it all. Most people also bundle this with Ad-Aware which is just another safe alternative and can get a bit more spyware than Spybot.

Answer 2

Spybot sucks. Gives false positives and I tested it and ran a second scan and the spyware was STILL there. Download Spyware Terminator. It's free, has real-time protection, and automatic updates and a integraded antivirus. Other spyware removers are just limited free editions of the real thing and lacks features. Spyware Terminator has it all. It's the best spyware remover I've used. www.spywareterminator.com

Answer 3

Spybots S&D is good antispyware program but I the latest version seems to have problems upon installation. I recommend you get the 1.5 version instead of 1.6. You can download 1.6 if you want but you will probably get some errors.

I also recommend getting Ad-Aware 2008. It's a good antispyware also.
