My Spybot experience

My first experience with Spybot was not unlike most anti-virus software I have been associated with, the look and feel was much the same which is not a bad thing. I did run the program and was take somewhat aback when it found a spyware lurking around my system that my paid for program AVAST did not. One thing that caught my attention when deciding between Spybot and Ad-Ware 2008 was that the free version of Ad-Ware did not allow you to set up daily auto-scans, a feature that I hold in high regard.

I believe that I will use Spybot in conjunction with other anti-virus software, it certainly made a believer out of me that two heads are better than one.

I implement the basic features available for protecting my computer system, I now after this test use several anti-virus software scheduled to run daily, my firewall is always up and running at the highest level that will allow for functional use. In my household I am not the only one who uses my computer and thus I maintain the system setting myself, keeping them under password protection as not to allow anyone to tamper with the configuration of the protocols that are in place to secure the computer. I implement somwhat difficult passwords not assciated with who I am, my hobbies, or names associated with me or my family.
