You can get the full version for free today http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/a-squared-anti-malware-35/

I found that it was way too chatty and riddled with false positives.

I'll stick with MBAM:

VERY TRUE. Haven't used it for ages, but just updated 3.1 to 3.5 and scanned with it. Nothing but false positives. Also don't like those text ads in Free edition. Ad-aware SE is the way to go. Hopefully they will continue to provide definition updates for it.

I use the free version of A-squared just for scans and I don't have a problem with it. The full version has real time protection.

Hi to all
Just read your lines and here is what I use
I've had no more problems since I use this combination of progs :

AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic
Lavasoft Ad-Aware SE Personal
Lavasoft RegHance
a-squared Free
Spybot - Search & Destroy
SpywareBlaster
HistoryKill 2003
Startup Mechanic
and of course CCleaner

By the way I use IE 6.0 and have SP3 on a XP Pro platforme
Low security I have read! Tweak the options!
I test my protections and I can say that "for the moment" I can surf almost anywhere with out any harm
I can stop most of the bad things before they even enter my computer
I have tweaked my IE settings and those of Window$
XP is a great OS You just have to tweak it and take care of it
And you can configure ALOT!
Anyway
Take care all
Coeur de Lion

I recommend IE7 with IE7Pro ad-in.

I use its Tabbed interface a lot and sometimes I have 6 tabs open to various sites that I want to cross reference like:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/...ie/default.mspx
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc512583.aspx

I have Windows Defender and WinPatrol on all my systems and McAfee SiteAdvisor on XP Pro and Firetrust SiteHound on XP Home and I'm trying out Avir on my slow PIII system.

Better yet Opera and FireFox. Definitely dump IE6 though.

Ok guys
I'll tell you my reasons not to move to IE7
Not friendly with some of my "protecting progs"
Makes a mess
I use Firefox on the side sometimes
I prefere Mozilla better then IE7
IE6 to me is all I need
I don't like the feeling and look of IE7
And I don't know, but I'm NOT paying for anything
That's for sure
Thanks for your good intentions
But as I am today with my config
It suits me 200%
I can controle a maximum of things with my old progs lol
And don't forget OLD progs didn't connect to the net!!!!
So no spying or other stuff going on
Speed could be an argument But well I've got time
I can't find any reason to change things
I've tryed alot of progs before finding those I use
As long as my computer is running and that my connexion is under controle I don't see any reason to change things
Thanks anyway
Take care all

PS: check the list of progs I sent
