I recently started using Uniblue SpyEraser with Windows XP home edition.  I have read several of the reviews on here and notice a lot of people use more than one spyware program.  Is it better to run more than one spyware program or is one enough to keep your system clean?  Any information you can give would be helpful.  Also if it is better to run two, which is good to run with Uniblue SpyEraser?

Is that the Free Version or the paid version?

Its the paid version.  I am running Uniblue SpyEraser, Uniblue Registry Booster 2 with Uniblue SpeedUpMyPC 3.  Wasnt sure what to go with since there are so many out there.

These two are free and work good.

Spyware Terminator:  http://www.spywareterminator.com/

AVG 8.0 Free is Anti virus with spyware removal and works in real time also:  http://free.avg.com/

Should I continue to use the SpyEraser as well and I also use FSecure Protection Plus Anti-virus and spyware but the spyware with that doesn't seem to work very well.  Would the AVG 8.0 be a better deal than my FSecure?

I don't know much about FSecure products. I've been using AVG for a number of years and can only remember getting a couple of Trojans. Its all trial and error to find the best. I don't have a lot of money so tend to lean towards the free stuff that actually work.


EDIT: Go here and read about the free programs and why one is better that the other. :wink:

I got the FSecure free for 18 months with my internet service.  Will try the AGV soon.  Thanks for the spywareterminator info.  I am gonna download it and see if it runs good with the SpyEraser.  So I am sure I will be asking more questions on this.  Thanks for the info!!!!
