You mentioned 'defender' by microsoft. Is that 'Ultimate Defender'? That thing keeps popping up on my computer and is a bi*ch to close even if you click NO.
I have Norton anti-virus and when I try to update the virus definitions, 'UD' come up. I thought maybe it was part of Norton (Symantec).

No, this is Windows Defender, a recent update to their anti-spyware program. It only runs on 2000 and XP.

I've been using Webroot's SpySweeper over a year now with good results. And Spybot. And AdAware. And Microsoft Defender.
I'm kind of a belt and suspenders guy, I guess.... ::)
Then again, I don't get spyware! ;D

I've been using Adware Personal for almost a year and it works fine. Eevn better than the free McAfee stuff that comes with Comcast. And Adware Personal is free. Try it - you have nothing to lose.

I run Adaware and Spybot and they both miss things that Ewido Security Suite catches. Awesome product.

Also run CrapCleaner. It removes cookies along with unused file extentions, IE cache, temp files, and others that can slow your computer. It also has a feature that lets you decide what runs at startup.
