All Right people, well let me tell what is currently on my system.
Avast Antivirus 4.8.1201 with Built-in antispyware and antirootkit.

Windows Defender
Spybot Search and Destroy 1.6 which has teatimer
System Mechanic's SystemGuard-
Should I add threatfire, or is that enough protection. I just have a feeling spybot isn't detecting good enough.

AVG and SUPER Anti Spyware

Use AVG and then Adaware/Spyware doctor to get rid of the shit AVG doesn't get.

you really only need one form of spyware and virus protection
redhotchilis64 Posted at 8:32 am on July 19, 2008
Windows Defender is outdated, use AVG. It'll protect you from anything (adware, spyware, trojans), and it updates automatically on a regular basis.

Spyware sucks...

Go to download.com and get a new anti-spyware
