I see SpywareGuard 2.2 touted as a good free real-time antimalware app that makes a great compliment to SpywareBlaster. But can anyone confirm that for me, and that it's definitely a different app than Spyware Guard 2008 & 2009? It had better be, because the latter is said to actually be a sophisticated rogue antispyware. Check these links out:

And assuming SpywareGuard 2.2 is OK, will it run with Avast Free Antivirus 5.0.418?

This is the real Spywareguard. http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareguard.html
But like I said in the other topic it is past it's time as an effective tool.
SpywareGuard works on Windows 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP. Not tested on Vista.
It has not updated in many years.

Well then, can you recommend a good CURRENT free real-time antimalware app?

I use SpywareBlaster and Spybots Immunize feature (Not TeaTimer!).
If you want something more aggressive (and free) check out Threatfire. http://www.threatfire.com/
