Title: Can SuperAntispyware run all t he time?
Post by: Bobh on May 06, 2010, 11:44:45 AM

Hi -
I have Vista Home Basic  32 bit.  I have Avast Anti Virus which runs all the time and keeps virus out of my computer (at least I have never had one that I know of).  I have SuperAntispyware listed as one of my programs.  As far as I know I have to run it to get rid of spyware.  Is there a way for it to run all the time so that spyware will be kept out of my computer as avast Antivirus does for virus?  I hope I have made clear what I want to do. 
Thanks for your time.   Bob

Yes, but only the paid version can run resident. Although I have the paid version I do not keep it resdident - I only run it once a month (along with MalwareBytes) to scan. I keep my AV (Kaspersky) resident at all times.

Keep an eye out for evilfantasy....sometimes he raffles a lifetime key for the pro version. ;)
He hasn't had one with a while though.

Allan -
Thank you for your reply.  I  have the professional SuperAntispyware which I run about once a week.  I general get 100 plus tracking cookies.  I guess I am doing OK but I was just checking.   Thanks   Bob

You're welcome Bob. And I'm not saying you should not keep it resident, just that I don't feel the need to do so.
