Answer 1

SuperAntiSpyware is really good but the free version doesnt have real time protection

Spybot S&D has realtime protection

so i would recommend u get both they dont conflict and they are free

Answer 2

Spyware Doctor Starter Edition only has very limited real-time protection.

Spybot has two types of real time protection; the SD Helper. and the Tea Timer. SD Helper immunizes your browser from bad downloads and blocks sites that it believes to be malicious. The Tea Timer constantly monitors your registry and alerts you *every* time there is the slightest change. This can be incredibly annoying and most people turn the Tea Timer off.

Spyware Terminator has a decent active real time protection, but its on-demand scanner isn't really that great ;-)

NOW I've found that two of the best *on-demand* scanners for all of the malware that you mentioned are Superantispyware and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.

> Superantispyware: http://www.superantispyware.com/

> Malwarebytes Anti-Malware: http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php

For my *real-time* protection I use Comodo BOClean:

> Comodo BOCleanhttp://www.comodo.com/boclean/boclean.ht...

And although you didn't ask, I use and recommend Avast antivirus:

> Avast 4 Home Edition: http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-...

All of the above are free and play well together.

Answer 3

I would say spybot search and destroy although the yahoo toolbar one isnt half bad

Answer 4

Spyware Doctor is better but I would buy it so I could receive the full protection. There is no sense in using free programs if you are not receiving the full protection, this is why so many people using free programs are always infected.

Answer 5

we'll I have..avast anti-virus, spy bot search and destroy, super anti- spy ware and they are all free!  you can download avast from..www.avast.com and idk on the others I had someone installed them on my computer, when I was in a jam. But ever since then I havent had any problems and avast runs all the time trapping any viruses that I may come across before they affect my computer. :) You have to just scan you computer once a week and your good!

Answer 6

if you're using windows then the best free one is 'windows defender'. that's an anti-spyware and works nicely.  You really don't need a anti-virus software unless you go to a lot of p**n sites or something.  

Answer 7

I downloaded http://www.cyber-defenders for a free trial.  It has really helped my computer a lot.  I think it beats out anything I have tried so far.
