Trend Micro Antivirus plus Anti Spyware

Got Trend Micro with my Nov 2007 HP PC purchase. It also came with Webroot Anti Spyware. Do I still need Webroot?

You might keep Webroot for doing ondemand scanning, but I wouldnt use its realtime protection.

you mean just keep it for it's scheduled sweeps? that's all it is, it doesnt have antivirus, obviously.

I don't like SpySweeper very much. It is a hog if you run it at boot and I've seen way too many false positives with it. You would do better with SuperAntiSpyware.

I know Spy Sweeper doesnt have antivirus, I meant dont use its shields (realtime protection).

When it comes to SpyWare, I always suggest using more than one scanner. No one product can identify/remove all SpyWare. So, depending on the products, they can cover for each others weaknesses.

huh..i have 12 of 12 enabled. why not?

Its not necessary. Trend Micro should be enough.

brinke · Post by **brinke** » October 16th, 2008, 2:21 pm

so...the scheduled scans for TM that I have; Windows System Folder Scan.....Hard Disc Scan...and Full Scan....that checks for viruses and spyware/malware? I have it set to go once per week. Is that sufficient?

Thats fine.

thanks for the feedback. so you think SpySweeper is superfluous and unneeded. should i go grab a freebie program like ad-aware?

I dont think its superfluous; I just think realtime adware/spyware protection is not crucial. Occassion scans are enough.

You can run more than one anti-spy ware application I chose Malware Bytes and Super Anti-Spy ware.
Never use more than one Anti-Virus application you will have a sick computer. Avira is the best for a free Anti-Virus, I'm beta testing their new build V9 which is a suite it reads Firewall, Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware. I'm a month into the test and haven't had any sign of bugs, not even a cookie. =D>
