SpywareBlaster is simply a *preventative* program........doesn't let bad
stuff land on your computer sort of thing. MBAM is an anti-malware program
and is excellent.

I have used Avast for a couple of years and other than a very yucky
interface (hard to read and figure out), it has served me well and it
auto-updates, etc. Avira is supposed to be quite good as well, but if you
are using WinME, check to see what works with it.

SpywareBlaster seems like a good program, but I do not see where it will
remove any possible bad guys that may already be lurking in my computer.

What is your opinion about avast!?

Thanks Heather. Thanks Harry.

Why not dump it and just use SpywareBlaster for protection and run MBAM
every day or two in the short mode. I dumped S & D a long time ago

because
it was getting way too unwieldy and scans were taking a half hour instead

of
5 minutes like MBAM.

Tis a thought..........Heather
