Windows Defender and Spybot

Since installing W.Def Spybot has dissapeared from my computer. Is there a compatability problem with the two programs does anyone know?

 

none mate. but spybot doesn't like adaware...

just some advice for you........win def is a load of rubbish and its not doing your computer any favours..

 

Had that feeling as comp hasnt been as stable as im used to since Spy bot dissapeared.I run Norton Antivirus ,Adaware,BT Anti spy,Ashampoo WinOptimiser. Never had any problems with Adaware and Spybot.Anything else you would recomend Im on Windows XP Media Centre Service pac 2.Its a Tiny with a AMD Athlon64 Processor 3000+ ,2.00GHz, 512MBof RAM.

 

I run spybot and it picks up alot more than the windows spyware.

 

sounds to me your running enough mate.

was the spybot search abd destroy version 1.3?

if so then thats the reason its disapeared....download 1.4 and run tea timer.

 

by the way Beefy i was given a present yesterday.......a hat with the same signature as you have in your posts lol....

WORK IS FOR PEOPLE WHO CANT FISH

hence i fish alot

 

Got Spybot in and WDefender out and all seems good in the world .Thanks for the advice .Brown trout and Salmon are what I chase and from now to 20 October when the river closes for the season if conditions are right I am out of contact with everyone :D :D Rods and tackle stay in the car and only come home for clothes and fresh bait!

 

Your opinion please PC.M, I recently had someone reinstall windows XP as I had a problem with links. The computer is fine. The repairman rubbished Norton and Macafee and said I was better off getting the cheaper F-PROT Antivirus, I have it now and it seems ok but I was interested to know if you are familiar with it as I hadn't heard of it before

 

to be honest i have heard of it but never used it, or even heard a bad word said about it....

I have checked reviews on the antivirus and found nothing to say it is bad in any way.

Here is one review i found which i have pasted for you..........

F-Prot Antivirus for Windows is an easy to use antivirus software package, specially designed to protect your data from virus infection and to remove any virus that may have infected your computer system. F-Prot Antivirus for Windows can currently detect over 57.944 irritating and harmful computer pests. You can always be certain that any new virus is immediately added to the F-Prot Antivirus for Windows detection and disinfection database. In addition to on-access and on-demand scanners (OnDemand Scanner and RealTime Protector), the program also includes the Updater that automatically updates the virus signature files. Updates and virus scans can be automatically scheduled using the Scheduler.


I disagree with the repair man that Norton and Mcafee are rubbish, but i will say that Norton is system resource hungry and Mcafee causes many problems with windows xp.

If the new antivirus does as it says it does then all is good.

 

no mate got a very large network to do today mate....

 

depending on the overall stability of the computer, ie.... memory/cpu/resources/operating system, and services packs will depend on the type of spyware and antivirus programs you use.....i'm glad that your system is running ok....some computers can't handle both.

ccleaner in my opinion is not an ideal program to use.......any program that claims to change the registry of a perfectly running computer is not good im my proffesional opinion.....
