it places known bad URLs into IE's "restricted zone", which limits what can be done by these sites. SpywareBlaster sets "kill-bits" that stop known bad ActiveX controls from loading in internet explorer. You can also stop SAS from auto-loading at startup: double-click on the sas/bug icon in your system tray, select PREFERENCES, be sure it opens to the GENERAL AND STARTUP tab, and under START-UP OPTIONS, UNcheck the box marked START SUPERAntiSpyware WHEN WINDOWS STARTS, and then close the window. "C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbamgui.exe" /uninstallĪfter which, you can continue to run MBAM as an on-demand scanner. These can be disabled by issuing the following command from a DOS/command prompt:
Superantispyware vs avast install#
"mbamgui.exe /install /silent" will only RUN ONCE (when you install a new/updated version of MBAM) Īfter that, subseqent startups will show "mbamgui.exe /starttray", which results in an MBAM icon appearing in your system tray, and an MBAM service running in the background. but only ONE resident anti-virus program should be used. while there is no absolute ranking here, based on my own personal experience, and what i have read from trusted sources, i would say that MBAM, SAS, and A-squared (not necessarily in any particular order) are the top candidates, and clearly outshine the "competition".Īmong free anti-virus programs, avira's antivir is also a great choice ( alternative to avast). each scan may be run with avast resident.Īs for the "need", most people advocate using at least two on-demand anti-malware scanners. Yes, I have installed, and use all three without any conflicts/problems:ġ) avast! antivirus offers resident (continually-running in real-time) anti-virus protection, and some degree of resident anti-spyware protection.Ģ) in contrast, malwarebytes anti-malware and superAntiSpyware do not offer resident protection, so there is no basis for a conflict here: rather, each is simply an on-demand scanner/remover.
