Solve : which combination of spyware programs??

Answer»

On an old Windows 98SE computer with somewhat limited HARDRIVE, memory and processor and so on. What mix of spyware programs would be good for not eating a lot of resources.

I have found the A2Squared on here. And it is definitely in the picture.  So A2Squared and Spybot or A2Sqaured and Adaware, and I will be using Avast for the Anti Virus.

It may have been me, But I thought A2 was better than Adaware on cleaning up this old computer. After running the Adaware until it showed clean I then loaded and UPDATED A2 and it found 367 more infections, including 3 trojans.

Thanks,Fordtruckmaniac...... I would be using a combination of the following:

CCLeaner ..... for general crap removal ( use both cleaner and issues parts)
SpyBot ......... Make sure to use the resident........
Avast ........... For AV scans
A2Squared.... For trojan removal on older machines .

Note Ad-Aware really isnt designed to eradicate trojans .........

dl65,  Looks good to me.

I left out I was using CCleaner too.  

I read this about Adaware in their description of the program, and it got me to thinking about what I noticed:

"Ad-Aware provides protection from KNOWN Spyware including: Data-mining, aggressive advertising, Parasites, Scumware, [highlight]selected traditional Trojans[/highlight], Dialers, Malware, Browser hijackers, and tracking components".

Thanks,If you decide to run Spybot you should also look at the EI Tweaks & Hosts file.
Spybot is a very powerful program in ADVANCED mode, I believe most people only use it as a scanner & don't unlock it's true potential.
