I have Webroot Spyseeker installed but, after seeing The Gadget Show, I downloaded SpyBot Seek and Destroy. Which one should I keep if I decide to get rid of one?


Any advice welcome since I'm not a technician.


Thanks.

It's free as is Spybot s&d just remember to update them regularly and run scans on a regular basis

-- answer removed --

if you are a serious www surfer you should consider ADAWARE (has a resident system changes detector), get yourself the LATEST version of SYMANTEC anti-virus v10. (detects spy/adware in transit) and if you can avoid it don't browse/click onto websites other than those you trust i.e. corporate sites etc...


PORN sites etc are usually LOADED i.e. they will try to deliberately upload small virus type files to your PC which you will not usually be able to detect... these exploits are at the cost of system security - get onto microsofts windows update site and downlaod ALL the security patches - your only REAL defence is to sure of what you are looking at !!!
