Windows 7 What Spyware Software Do You use?

Just a non-scientific poll on what people are using . Any specific reasons (like when Webroot delisted 180solutions) would be helpful. This does not include HJT, Autoruns, or CWShredder since they should be used by all anyway

Does Super Antispyware work alright with Windows 7 RC? I used it in XP but haven't had a chance to install it in 7 yet.. I'm just curious if it's working or not?..

Dont know if things have changed Radenight but Super Antispyware was not working with win7 b4. Not sure if since the RC it now works to scared to chance it as it gave me BSOD b4 !

It is though to my mind the best Anti spyware about Need a version that works with 7 for sure .

Sptbot Search and Destroy and Spywareblaster. I use to use Ad-aware but the latest supported version sucks. Yay Lavasoft

The progrms for spyware and AV I am using are free no purchase required. I will be purchasing a AV when Windows 7 comes out. However the other spyware programs are free. You really can not have enogh protection what one program misses another may catch.

At one point I used Lavasoft but a few days ago I decided to use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.

SOme of the other programs not mentioned like Hijackthis and autoruns can also be used to tweak settings and see what crap you have starting that shouldn't be. I have NEVER seen an anti virus do it all!

Its all good, i know what to stay away from and not to click on. And like i said anything of real value is backed up, no biggie if anything happens i just format.

Yes,, it is possible to stay clean for a period of time.

But, are you 100% sure that your system is NOT being used as zombie without your knowing it.

I don't have any recommendation for A/V other than don't use AVG (garbage).
