    What Spyware Software Do You use?

    Just a non-scientific poll on what people are using . Any specific reasons (like when Webroot delisted 180solutions) would be helpful. This does not include HJT, Autoruns, or CWShredder since they should be used by all anyway

    I use Super Antispyware & Malwarebytes Anti-Malware after getting a virus which would not allow me to install any spyware checker. Once my system was cleaned my research showed that these are 2 of the best.

    Does Super Antispyware work alright with Windows 7 RC? I used it in XP but haven't had a chance to install it in 7 yet.. I'm just curious if it's working or not?..

    Dont know if things have changed Radenight but Super Antispyware was not working with win7 b4. Not sure if since the RC it now works to scared to chance it as it gave me BSOD b4 !

    It is though to my mind the best Anti spyware about Need a version that works with 7 for sure .
