Slimy Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 No problem, every site with multiple variations of a program has a chart to compare their products.

r01n3 Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Why have all these antispyware programs? Just use Firefox and common sense! I don't use any unecessary browser cleaners anymore either. I also use: Sygate personal firewall AntiVir (I wouldn't need it though cause I never get any viruses) Regseeker (not just a regcleaner) Dustbuster xp(excellent prog never had a problem with it) Startup (like msconfig but better) If I want to wipe my hd I use Darin's boot & nuke. I'm on Win2k but these progs worked for me on XP sp2 aswell. Think that's it. :yes: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/400902-the-best-securitycleaners-for-xp-service-pack-2/page/3/#findComment-586977740 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zlain Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 A decent guide, but I can't help but think people are already aware of doing most of this. Thanks for the infomation on the first registry cleaner you mentioned. :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/400902-the-best-securitycleaners-for-xp-service-pack-2/page/3/#findComment-587784288 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorned1 Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 I'm trying out that "Hitman Pro" Program right now, and by the looks of it. It downloads all the top antispyware tools and runs them together. I'll be back to tell you how it works.

tes1234 Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Hi, I have old laptop which i need to install antivirus and firewall. Though i love windows firewall so no need of firewall but i need a antivirus and antispyware which is light and good. My configuration is as follows: Intel Celeron Mobile 1.30 512 MB ram 128 MB shared in card 40 GB hdd So keeping in mind that i have 512-128 MB ram please suggest me which antivirus to go for. Though if there is an alternative to antivirus and antispyware that will good. I thought hitman was an alternative to antivirus. I currently have NOD and it starts up with 10MB and as i work catches upto 25 MB. I have firefox 2.0 Installed and it takes a lot of ram 160 MB if i have 4 windows opened. Any way to make it lighter lol. Thanks.

ViperAFK Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 I personally use Avast!, Windows Firewall, and Ad-Aware SE Personal and I've never really had any problems at all, the few viruses I have encountered were quickly deterred by Avast! In my opinion it's much better than AVG and some other free ones, I've never personally tried NOD32 although i hear good things.

Andre S. Veteran Posted February 22, 2007 Veteran Share Posted February 22, 2007 Why have all these antispyware programs?Just use Firefox and common sense! No browser provides protection against spyware. Common sense can be used with any browser. :rolleyes: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/400902-the-best-securitycleaners-for-xp-service-pack-2/page/3/#findComment-588342919 Share on other sites More sharing options...
