Solved BSOD on start up every 4 or 5 days - Toshiba laptop 3 mths old

hkfish,

As a result I want to upgrade to real time monitoring and was wondering is it ok to do with the 3 systems in that they are compatible and ok to run at the same time?

Having more than one program running Real Time Protection is actually counterproductive. As a result, your PC will slow down, system instability becomes a factor, programs conflict with each other, and sometimes one program may stop the other one from removing a threat. As a result, security is decreased, a condition contradictory to what you want to achieve.

The free versions don't have real-time protection, so MBAM as well as SAS, are On-Demand-Scanners. Both use a different type of scan engine and different hueristic technology to detect and remove threats. IMO, for virus related issues, run a scan from MalwareBytes first and, if the problem persists, then go for SuperAntiSpyware. If one misses a threat, the other one will more than likely catch and remove it. However, would not run both of them at the same time.

Also do you think the virus has been fully removed?
