Products used on select computers:
•Windows Defender (Vista, with an advanced membership in Microsoft SpyNet)
•Spy Sweeper (Vista)

•SpywareGuard (XP x 2)
•Ad-Aware SE (XP x 2)
Product used on select computers but not listed in the poll:

Thank you for the poll, blackdragon1  .  |

SuperAntiSpyware is my main one, with Spybot as backup. neither has real time crap running, mainly because I very seldom use IE.
None of these products ever detects anything more than the usual cookies. |

I mainly stick to Spybot, SpywareBlaster, and Windows Defender. I gave up on Ad-Aware since it was getting a bit bloated.

I've also pared down considerably on the AntiSpyware software used.
Other: AntiSpyware in BitDefender AV 10
SUPERAntiSpyware
SpywareBlaster
Been reading about and thinking of giving ThreatFire a trial as an alternative/replacement for BOClean 4.22. (One of those who does not care for the Comodo BOCLean EULA) |

I've been using Regprot since Win98 along with the others I voted for in the poll. I'm also currently running/testing Mcafee security package. I'm not sure what it's actually called so I posted an attachment. When I'm being bad, I run Sandboxie.

Terrific poll blackdragon1, Thanks!
Gotta start with 2 old favorites;
SpywareBlaster and SpywareGuard.
They're the dress on my computer.
SuperAntiSpyware. Good program. I've run it in realtime and also on demand depending on what I maybe trying at the time.
And right now I've trying out ThreatFire Free.
Been working very well
I can't forget WinPatrol Plus. Another mainstay for the last several yrs.

I used to use Ad-Aware,Spybot Search & Destroy and Spyware Blaster. But since moving to Wndows Vista I only use Windows Defender and Avast and have not gotten any spyware or viruses on my PC yet. I also use Vista built in Firewall and hardware firewall. It really was over kill before. |

I still use Spyware Blaster for IE although I seldom use IE. Other than that, I have Avira Personal Premium which has excellent spyware protection and the Proxomitron with Sidki's filters. |

Great poll blackdragon1 !
Lets see....I use SuperAntispyware and, um....gee, I guess that's about it. 
I've used many others in the past, but don't bother any more. (Never found anything back then, and still don't).
Rarely bother to run a scan even with SuperAntispyware these days.

Thanks for the poll blackdragon1 .
I voted for Spybot S&D and AdAwareSE but only use them about once a month for on-demand scanning. I also use WinPatrol Plus real-time which is more than just antispyware. |

I was glad to see someone mention Firefox with "NoScript". I think it's great protection, especially against some of the 'Zero-Day' exploits that pop up.
As far as the other things I use, it's Spybot S&D (with Tea Timer running), and Spyware Blaster running resident, AdAware SE once every month (or so..), and HijackThis regularly, especially after new installations.
Great poll! Sorry I haven't been around to participate lately. I'll try to focus more of my attention back here. This web site is such a great resource. |

Spywareblaster
Ad-Aware SE
Spybot Search & Destroy
Spywareblaster is a must for anyone I help with there computer, because it works without any help from the user, but updates and makes my work a lot less... |

I use on various machines Ad-Aware SE, hosts file, Spybot S & D, SpywareGuard and Spyware Blaster. On my Vista computer I have only used Windows Defender, but I plan to at least run Spybot and Ad-Aware on it just to see how Defender is doing.
