X64 anti-spy software

[Guest spock]

Hello Everyone

Has anyone released anti-spy software for windows X64 Pro that really

works?

I have tried defender or whatever it is called now and found less than

satisfactory.

I have tried the free AVG anti-spy every time I ran it there was at leaset

9-15 infections

I don't think it did anything, that is everytime I ran it there was always

more? and more!

Sensisible answers please! I don't want a war of words. What works? is there

anything?

 

Thank you.

I use SpyBot and A-Squared without any problems with XP x64 and

Vista x64. Also I use Nod32 for AV on both operating systems, Have a great

day.

I use Hitman Pro (http://www.hitmanpro.nl/), and they use a bunch of

programs to scan your system. It has auto-update, and most included

programs are free (some are trial). The scanning-process is fully automatic

(all the appropraite buttons are "pressed" via a script). The program

itself is free as well, and comes in English and Dutch.

AVG (ewido) Anti-spyware has its own forum : http://www.wilderssecurity.com/

.. I have found that if you consistently decide to either ignore or delete,

or allow this time that the number of errors decreases over time. You may

have to run it in Safe Mode. You may also want to try SpywareBlaster or

Spybot S&D . I have used SpywareBlaster for a few years with good results.

There is no 64-bit version unfortunately of SpywareBlaster nor of the

others. I suggest you read posts at that forum that I mentioned above. I

have not tried "Defender" and am unlikely to do so. I did have "McAfee

Anti-spyware" installed but found it awkward to update on a weekly basis.

After a one-year subscription I allowed it to expire.

Spy-bot runs fine in Vista 64 Version:1.5.1.17 is vista aware.Avg

anti-spyware(version7.6.1.43) is also very good,make sure you are deleting

what it finds. Both of these are free to use & free updates.

You can also try Kaspersky Internet Suite. They have a free 30 day trial.

 

It works fine for x64.
