Is there anyone out there that has problems with SAS or thinks they have a
superior antispyware program?

Isn't that a good thing?

SAS is considered top-notch ware; What is your problem?

You could *add* the free versions of Spyware S&D and Ad-Aware.

I think the problem is your comprehension of the written word or
understanding the question.

Problems, no. Superior, depends on your criteria. Might I recommend you
visit malwarebytes.org and download the antimalware program?

Did as you suggested and dl'd, installed, updated and ran the Malwarebyte's
Anti-Malware program.

1)It found a homepage 'stealer', I can't remember the exact words , but it
was just SpyWareBlaster where I checked the option that the homepage in IE6
could not be changed from within the IE Tools Control Panel.

2)It also found a 'trojan downloader' in Acrobat 6, which I beileve was
another false positive.
I checked the above 2 items with Norton and SAS and neither found a problem.

I will keep it for awhile and do a manual scan once every now and then.
Overall, I am extremely pleased with SAS and I was just trying to see how
others liked and trusted it.

Thanks

No real need to take my word specifically for it. Google around a bit,
checkout the recommended hijackthis forums so often posted. I won't waste
the readers time by bragging too much on mbam. I will also disclose that I
work for them, so my viewpoints on how good it is could be considered
biased.

I didn't attack you in the first place, and I really don't care if you
personally find me credible or not. You have an opinion of me that isn't
going to change anytime soon; what I say and do doesn't matter.

I hope you will rely on my word.

MBAM is a superior product.
I also know many on the MBAM team.

Thanks for your opinion. I will keep the MalWareBytes' Anti-Malware Program
and run it on demand.
