What anti spyware/adware ?

What anti spyware/adware would compliment my Firefox browser with AVG antivirus. I was using Mcafee suite......god that was slow.



Ideally I would like total protection, free possibly.....is there one product I could purchase that would deal with adware and spyware....I did see good reviews for Spyware Doctor. Thanks

Ewido is the best I've used so far and believe me, I've tried em all. Most people dont realise this program is actually free, what happens is, you download an evaluation of the pro version and after the trial period expires, you choose to go pro and pay or stick with the standard version (free).



Different programs have different spyware definitions so some catch certain spyware while others catch still more, Ewido is the most comprehensive I've seen, try the online scan first to check it out if you wish,source below:



In my experience using an all in one solution isnt a good idea. If you have problems with the program you get left with no protection at all.If you have anti virus, antispy and firewall programs running independantly of each other, if one gives you problems you still have the other two running.



ps. DO NOT use windows xp firewall, it is worse than useless since it provides little or no protection at all and lets you believe you are protected, determined hackers bypass it without any problem at all.
