do i need spybot search and destroy if i have panda software?

Question

Just wondering if there would be a conflict with the programs or if it's a good idea to run a secondary spyware

Answer 1

Yes, because PANDA is a virus protection software and SPYBOT is a spyware protection software. FYI:
VIRUS is a program that is loaded onto your computer without your knowledge and runs against your wishes. They are dangerous because they will quickly use all available memory and bring the system to a halt, or pops up a message or it may destroy programs and data or it can atttach and copy itself to other programs or transmit itself across networks and bypass security systems. To remove a virus you use a ANTIVIRUS program, like Panda.
SPYWARE is a program that covertly gathers user information through the user's Internet connection without his/her knowledge, usually for advertising purposes They can also gather information about e-mail addresses and even passwords and credit card numbers. To remove a spyware you use programs like SPYBOT.

Hi, panda software is an kind of infamous disgusting virus, you can try Norton or Mcafee to remove the virus, but you should pay for the software.

i also recommand you to use firefox with Google toolbar, which can disable the virus, becasue the virus can only run on IE.

firefox can block any any poppus and disable any virus and spywareware on webpage, so, firefox is much safer than IE. as you know, most of the virus is spread throught internet and webpage.

firefox is much smaller than IE, so i run faster than IE.

download firefox for free:

Best Wishes && Good Luck!

Answer 4

I'd recommend SB S&D with AdAware as a compliment to it. A good rule of thumb is to have two different spyware programs, so one catches what the other misses.

Answer 5

I take it you have Panda virus program - a word of warning don't run another virus program with Panda - your computer will lock up - you can run spyware program

Answer 6

Spybot search & destroy is junk and worthless. I highly recommend you download SUPERantispyware. It is very effective and it is free.

Answer 7

having multiple cookie sniffers/deleters is good.... not so with anti-v app's, have only one of these. the best way is to prevent cookies (trackers, etc.) before they get in. i use 'SPYWARE GUARD' and 'SPYWARE BLASTER' both free and avail, at 'snapfiles.com' both are easy and lightweight.

Answer 8

Yes it will work

But I reccomend ad-aware

Answer 9

ssad is and trojan but with a really good good cover so do not use it at all and panda should be enough

Answer 10

I have multiple things and SB S&D is one of them. I've never had a problem.
