Should get it all back, but don't want anything like this happening again! I have currently got AVG free, but I dont think it checks for spyware. Should I get 2 seperate programs for this or does anyone know a good program that will check for both?Cheers, Peter.

They are both resource hungry and perform slow scans. Use Google and you will find much better.

I just use what I get for free, and I just set the scan to start around 3am, so doesn't affect me.

It tends to find/block more nasties than McAfee , Adaware, Spybot, Windows Defender etc Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/61345-antivirus-antispyware-programs/#findComment-929581 Share on other sites More sharing options...

HI PSI Member 1,589 Member For: 19y 12d Gender: Male Location: Central Queensland Posted 05/09/09 09:01 AM Share Posted 05/09/09 09:01 AM I use Avast 4.8 Professional. I have found it to be very reliable. I use adaware Pro 2007 to remove all of my spyware and tracking cookies. I previously had norton Systmworks found that I was still getting virus's Whereas Avast stops the page and asks for my instructions.... I can't say enough about Avast.. It is well worth the money..
