    It's not an either or scenario. I use both (as well as MBAM) and I've been well-protected. I let SpywareBlaster run silently in the background as a preventive measure and I use SAS and MBAM as on-demand scanners. Those three plus Avira Free have kept me safe and sound for a long time.

    True - I also used to combine SpywareBlaster with other malware/spyware apps, but after many proven years that SpywareBlaster alone is enough, I removed other apps.

    Saying that, this scenario works for our comps in the family. It might not work for others.

    cheers ...

    To be honest, I think Windows Defender is probably one of the most adept anti-spyware programs out there. It receives almost daily updates from Microsoft and seems like a good, free solution included with Windows.
