#1 Spyware

Post by rhoenix »

Since in some ways I'm catching back up with the wonderful world of maintenance of Windows machines, here's my question.

For spyware scanning, I installed MalwareBytes' software, which routinely finds nothing. On a hunch, I installed Spybot S&D again, and it found ten entries.

Since then, every single time I've run both programs, Spybot finds at least 5 pieces of malware each time, and Malwarebytes finds precisely nothing on a full scan.

So, what's the best current software for spyware removal on win7?
