Webroot spysweeper with anti-virus

[dna]

Hello all,

I had to remove this from my system, it slowed my dual core laptop to a
crawl. Like when said product was on my system & now I cannot run recuva, it
freezes at 54%. In normal & safe mode as well.
Is there another ant-spyware that I could buy that has a active shield in
memory?
I tried spyware dr, from Google pack, it took almost 18 hours to scan.


I use: malwarebytes, superantispyware, spybot & a-squared free as my on
demand scanner. My anti-virus is Norton Corporate from work & firewall is
Comodo.

Tia to all replies.

Hi 'dna'

My understanding is that one should never have more than one anti-virus
programme active on one's computer.

The corporate version of Norton should be more than sufficient for your
needs!

Pick one real-time scanner and dump the rest. The real-time scanners tend to
fight with each other.

Thanks for all your replies

I have removed Webroot, but the anti spyware component is something I am
after.

My understanding is that 'Corporate' Norton software *does* protect against
spyware.

You have enough with malwarebytes, superantispyware if they are real time installs.
Spybot is a has been and is overbloated. As you can see there is a person who
answered here not knowing his stuff and you should ignore his posts (BD)
Norton Corporate ( version 11 hopefully) is excellent for your virus\trojan needs.
Just make sure you keep up with the updates.

Apologies for a late reply, I spoke to Webroot & requested for a 'downgrade'
to spysweeper. Now everything works fine.
