Are there any good alternatives to Spybot Search & Destroy?Because it eats my RAM like its Skittles.
Just Microsoft Security Essentials has been working out well for me. And I mean, if you use Adblock Plus or something similar and stay away from obviously malicious sites, most of the danger is avoided anyway.

i just run malwarebytes and avg tray watch, theyre pretty smalladaware is becoming worse with time in my opinion. malwarebytes catches most things, for sure get that
Thanks for the advice. Gonna try all of that.
also, Noscript is a FF plugin similar to AdBlock. Between those 2 I haven't really had the need for an anti-virus
Microsoft Security Essentials or don't use any at all.What, not enough Common Sense?
