1318992	2012-12-18 11:37:00	I am setting up an older XP PC for a friend of mine, it has Avast on it currently, am going to put MSSA on it instead The machine already also has Spybot Search and Destroy and Ad-Aware on it, do I need either or both of these if I have MSSA on it? PC is an older P4 with 1.5 GB memory, and is a freebie, so anything I can remove to improve performance that isnt needed is a bonus Regards Peter	laworder (12738)
1318993	2012-12-18 18:28:00	I'd keep them.	Nick G (16709)
1318994	2012-12-18 20:03:00	Take off Adaware and put on Malwarebytes. Disable Indexing, and put on Ccleaner for a clean up tool. LL	lakewoodlady (103)
1318995	2012-12-18 20:29:00	Adaware is rubbish, uninstall it.	zqwerty (97)
1318996	2012-12-19 00:04:00	Cheers, thank you for that. If I install Malwarebytes, do I need to keep Spybot or discard it Already have CCleaner on there	laworder (12738)
1318997	2012-12-19 00:25:00	Cheers, thank you for that. If I install Malwarebytes, do I need to keep Spybot or discard it Already have CCleaner on there I'd keep spybot.	Nick G (16709)
1318998	2012-12-19 01:15:00	From memory superantispyware is better than spybot.	icow (15313)
1318999	2012-12-19 01:24:00	You gain nothing by removing spybot anyway. Unless you have tea timer enabled which you shouldn't because it's more annoying than useful. Otherwise it's not memory resident and uses bugger all space	dugimodo (138)
1319000	2012-12-19 02:23:00	If I install Malwarebytes, do I need to keep Spybot or discard it Already have CCleaner on there Keep both. And Ccleaner doesn't remove malware, it's a clean up tool.	pctek (84)
1319001	2012-12-19 04:33:00	On the principal that no one malware removal program is 100% efficient I would have at least two. I run both of these programs and Superantispyware as well.	PPp (9511)
