lol, actually I'm down to just 4 now too, but need to decide if I want to switch from the free ZoneAlarm firewall/AVG antivirus combo I've been using, and install the NIIS2005 I've had on my desk for 4 months now.
I also have an eval copy of CA PestPatrol 2005 still in the shrinkwrap!

eTrust Pest Patrol
SpySweeper
AdAware SE 1.05 Pro
Spybot S & D 1.4 Beta
MS AntiSpyware Beta
Whoops, that's 5, and now 6 w/ the Norton Product
I don't use NAV, I believe its bloatware. I really like eTrust EZ AV, I've been using it ever since it came out. We have the corporate edition of EAV @ work, which employs 2 scanning engines, VET & InnoculateIT, offering added protection. The EZ version only employs the VET engine, but doesn't, IMHO, "invade" your system as does NAV
Rip off that shrink wrap, PestPatrol is a great app, fastest scanner out of those listed above!! :approve:
When I installed MS Antispyware beta, it found 'stuff' that PestPatrol and AdAware didn't, so I uninstalled them. I am currently relying solely on the MS product. Is this a mistake?
In my opinion, yes. What if something comes out that the MS product doesn't detect, and the CA and AdAware products do? The MS product is good, no doubt about that, but the more the better, especially after a Mal/Spyware attack. You never know . . .

It is always a mistake to just rely on one product for this kind of stuff.
I find the programmes go in waves - with one finding somethings the others don't - but two weeks later it will be one of the other ones :approve:
OK, ok STOPPPPP!!! I am not, repeat, AM NOT going to install the complete Norton Internet Security suite on my PC just to test out their beta spyware app. :bang:
Talk about bloatware, NIS is a major resource hog, installs a bunch of services, and slows down your machine. Why can't they make an solely "AntiSpy" beta availible?
Fulltetxt, am I missing something, or can I just install the AntiSpyware portion?
Sorry Wooch, I should have been more clear, it is the entire NIS2005 application. Symantec has no plans to release a standalone AntiSpyware app.
Note to the other posters, yes you need multiple apps to protect as they don't all catch the same things. I've had it happen a few times now where Spybot S&D, AdAware, MS, SpyHunter, or PestPatrol free version in Yahoo Toolbar, would detect and clean something the others didn't. The latest being SpywareStormer which I can't seem to permanently get rid of!

Any link to any freeware Spyware handy so I won't have to go through dozens to get the good one. At this point after rebuilding this laptop I have no Spyware installed and no SPAM so far. I have AV and maintain it (I am not that stupid)
