1352575	2013-09-03 02:35:00	I have ESET Security V6 installed. I also have Malwarebytes, Super Antispyware and Spybot. I know I don't need all that and thought I might dump Malwarebytes. Will Super and Spybot do their thing without too much input or are their functions that I need to set up or avoid?. Also is it worth paying for ESET when Avast seems to do a good job? Any help appreciated.	Pato (2463)
1352576	2013-09-03 02:47:00	personally I'd keep MBAM and drop spybot of the two. Can't comment on ESET, stuck with the free ones myself.	dugimodo (138)

1352578	2013-09-03 03:33:00	Depends what your system gets infected with. If you get a rootkit, you can use something like tdsskiller. But other malware / viruses / trojans remove / delete services. In which case no AV program can bring a service back. You'll have to have a spare PC with the same OS, and export the reg key, then import the key into the infected PC to re-add the service. Or find sites online, that have the reg files (for whatever service), for all the Windows OS's. And there's a few. Same goes for files that some may infect. You can either copy it from a clean PC, (like I did the other day), or a repair install may replace the infected file/s	Speedy Gonzales (78)

Any help appreciated . Persoonally I'd keep the lot . You can alternate scans with MBAM and SAS . . . . Yes NOD32 way outperforms Avast . Keep it . It's not that much per year to renew . . . .	pctek (84)

1352581	2013-09-03 05:28:00	I'll +1 what pctek stuff, keep Eset NOD32, it's worth paying for, for how much better it performs than Avast!	Chilling_Silence (9)
1352582	2013-09-03 09:06:00	I do like spybot, but recent reviews have been mediocre and I think MBAM is better overall, which is why I said of the two I'd keep MBAM. If I was getting rid of one that is. I keep a system image and use the free options, for me the worse case scenario is a few hours lost time while I restore everything or more likely less than an hour if the most recent image is good so I don't stress about Viruses too much. To be honest I'm running just defender on 8 at the moment, haven't gotten around to installing anything else and it's been a couple months.	dugimodo (138)
1352583	2013-09-03 22:00:00	No reason not to keep all of them, but as dugimodo said, if you were to get rid of one ditch Spybot. Last I tried v2, it was truly awful to use. MBAM is good, as is SAS and Eset is about the best AV money can buy :D	autechre (266)
