I don't trust the Microsoft Beta Spyware software! It's no damn good!

Spybot and Ad-Aware catch a whole lot more!

"Spybot and Ad-Aware catch a whole lot more!"

And Microsoft catches things that Spybot and Ad-Aware misses! The problem with all these is that you really need to use them all in order to clean everything. Why can't someone put all of them together?

Have you figured out a way to get either of those programs to run a scan on a schedule?

I use several. The Microsoft beta and Yahoo are two of the best. Ad-aware isn't bad either. In combination they are pretty powerful.

When I run Spybot it gives me the same reult every time, there are 5 things that need removed, but it's always the same 5 things and always 5, but when I run Registry Mechanic and Aluria I find much more interesting things.

I recently installed the latest Norton Antivirus and it now takes about 10 minutes for my computer to get started, it runs ok after that could this be connected.

I agree. I also use HijackThis and Avast Anti-Virus (which also protects against spyware and malware). I have had a fair share of times where I had to do it through registry editing (risky but sometimes that is what it takes)

The MS ASW app is what used to be Giant. This was, and probably still is, one of the best ASW apps around.
