Jul 07, 2009 11:09 am They should work together no problems. I used to use a combo of spybot and adaware to clean up what virus software did not.

Jul 07, 2009 12:09 pm I use AVG and Spybot at the same time on multiple machines and have no issues with them ever interfering with each other. I do notice that Spybot finds quite a bit more spyware than AVG does, but AVG is a good anti-virus program - especially for free.
Jul 07, 2009 05:51 pm AVG is great at what it does, virus scanning...spyware, malware, etc...not it's thing, AVG, Spybot and AdAware is a great trifecta of protection for any PC and it costs you exactly NOTHING.
of course, having a hardware based firewall on your router doesn't hurt either.

Jul 07, 2009 06:02 pm I as well have been using the full arsenal like that for years. The boyz box in the worst times ran AVG, Spybot, AdAware, HiJack this and sygate firewall. All free and all worked well together.

Jul 07, 2009 06:14 pm Oh, and nice find dB. H had some interesting bits there on Vista. I chuckled though as he fumbled around not knowing were the windows defrag was. Good solution though, he just googled it.
Jul 07, 2009 06:15 pm The Teaching Box is actually authored by an old high school friend, good blog, I read it often.

Jul 07, 2009 09:52 pm I'll have to check it out a bit more then. I just kinda gave it a quick look and watched the video's.
I think those get the point across rather straight forward.
