I been with Avast for a few years and I use Spybot and SpywareBlaster, MBAM free as a scanner only and SuperAntiSpyware as a third opinion scanner also MBAM doesn’t scan Tracking cookies and Superantispyware does also it has repair itself in case of security center changes, and is only 10mb…Adaware in my opinion is probably better than Spybot S&D and probably the best out there, I just think it’s a very big program probably over 100mb just the download So I find that my Computer is much faster with Spybot S&D…Also with Spybot if I am surfing Safe sites I disable the Tea Timer and the Rsident and just keep it immunized, and still have SpywareBlaster running with Avast Spyware protection …Also If you do a “custom scan” with Avast and set it to scan Auto Start, Rootkits and Memory, it finds Spybot teatimer as a high risk, although it doesn’t delete it, just shows in the report… So I undo the teatimer and the Rsident when doin a Custom Scan. and it’s OK on a regular Scan …If you use a commercial firewall, although I don’t but have tried all of them, and find that they mess up my computer services and make Event viewer errors…And before you know it my computer slows down because they block some programs…Privatefirewall, Filseclab, Outpost, “Comodo firewall only”, all go good with Avast, Ashampoo doesn’t…Online Armor, I found that if you do a Custom scan with Avast and scan “autostart programs” Avast finds Online Armor a threat and deletes the exe files of Online Armor…But they might have fixed this…Luck and welcome to Avast…
