AntiSpyware's

[BeyLIN]

I'm running 3 programs for anti malware...
SUPERAntiSpyware latest with license.
MalwareBytes latest with license
and SpywareDoctor latest with license

and they all running real-time protection.
is the bad for the PC?
And which one of them is the best?

I dont know if that help's but I use avira.

There can be conflicts. Best is very subjective. I use malwarebytes because I think it is best. You can keep them all, but only one malware and one antivirus should be running real time.

 

[BeyLIN]

Alright...
for SAS wont be the one...
But i cant choose between SpywareDoctor and MalwareBytes

 

[windows7theme]

Dont go with too many security software as that would slow down your system as most of them run realtime. Three software just for spyware is surely not recommended. If you have to choose between the three I would personally recommend either SAS or MWB. Just go with one of them.

I choosed MB.
thanks for you'r help guys

As long as they are working, I dont think it shouls cause any issues. Still, instead of using 3 antispyware, remove any one from the list and use only 2. I feel its a bit overkill though.

Good choice, used by many here at the forum

Here is a basic rule of the thumb. Use one antivirus and one firewall active at a time. (Starts with your computer starting). Use the rest of the programs you have chosen as on demand only. (It does nothing until you tell it to, update, scan ect.) Never scan with more than one program at a time.

I concur with what the others have said about one real-time monitor. However, even though generally not recommended, many people with an Antivirus Suite which includes real-time protection have not had problems with a separate anti-malware program such as MBAM or SAS.

Never scan with more than one program at a time.

In addition, shutdown/restart the computer between scans.

Hi BeyLIN & welcome.
You say that you have SuperAntiSpyware with licence. That implies that you are running the paid version. Correct?
My recommendation is that you continue to use it. It is a good program with excellent support via email or through their forum.

FYI - I run SAS paid version with Real Time Protection on, plus an Anti Virus program, also with Real Time Protection on.
They are compatible.

Layback Bear & Corrine have also provided you with some good advice.

MalwareBytes is not an anti-virus program nor a firewall.

It seems that BeyLIN has a license for all three. Although my preference is MBAM, Jan's is SAS, and I'm sure someone else is likely to come along and say they prefer SpywareDoctor.

My advice -- use the software in real-time that you like the best.

I concur - No argument with this advice....

a-squared (a2) also works very well together with other Antivirus-programs, but in v5 you might have to change the "File guard"-settings to "Scan only programs before they are executed".
i´ve also tested the other 2 settings, running a2 together with Avast 5 & MSE, i have NOT noticed any problems.

@hackerman1 -- BeyLIN already has overkill with three licensed anti-malware software programs.

 

[hackerman1]

Corrine: oh yes, i have noticed that...
i only wanted to point out that a2 also works well with other A/V´s.
i replied to you....
i´ve now edited my post above.
