I use Avira Free and Malwarebytes and now I am considering downloading the free version of Superantispyware. Is the free version worth using along side my other two programs?

Thank you Piriform for giving us 'Speccy' so I could get all this info with ease.
This is just my personal experience but SuperAntiSpyware is good at finding stuff where MWB rarely does.

I was told the free version does not do much compared to the pay version. Is this true? I would hate to have the program tell me I have threats but then not remove them unless I pay.

The program is 100% free and is fully functional... it will clean anything it finds and will not nag you to purchase the pro version .... Try it, you'll like it!! ;)

Thanks for the info,Tews.


Last question: I am going to disable the program from starting when windows starts because I want to use it as a on-demand scanner. Is that ok?

Thats how I use Malwarbytes

MattDamonisdumb,
Refer to the link below to see what each version offers.
Yes the free version is a good program to have.

A paid version will always offer more "bells & whistles" than the free.
Suffice to say I happily used the free version successfully for years.
[I was sufficiently impressed & decided to get the paid version which I use on 2 computers.]

SuperAntiSpyware is a good app to use in combination with Malwarebytes. I find that one usually finds a couple of items that the other one does not. SAS usually finds tracking cookies where as Malwarebytes does not.

Do you need to update your signature, Dinesh?

I just use Hitman Pro for on-demand scans, these days but if I suspect it and Norton has failed to detect something, I'll use SUPERAntiSpyware Portable Scanner before anything else.

I'll give my vote to the use of SuperAntiSpyware, I used to use the free version when I was using WinME and when first using XP but then decided to pay for it, which gives the option to run in real time.

I find it works very well alongside the free version of MalwareBytes, Avast and the Windows firewall behind a secure router.

That is on the XP machine and as the license is for one machine when I got my Vista machine and installed Windows 7 I paid for a copy of MalwareBytes to run alongside MSE, Windows Firewall and router.

Both machines also have SpywareBlaster installed on them.
