So, what does everyone think I should keep out of these: I have
Avast Free Antivirus, SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition,
SpywareBlaster and CCleaner 64 bit. SURERAntiSpyware usually
finds two cookie trackers.
Avast is a resident virus scanner and is not equivalent to the other
products you mention. You should keep that.
CCleaner is an on-demand cleanup utility. It is not equivalent to the
other products you mention. It only runs when you ask it to, so it
doesn't clash with anything else. You can keep that.
Superantispyware is an on-demand spyware detector. It only runs when
you ask it to, so unless you are running two or more similar programs
at once there should be no conflict. You can keep that.
I don't know Spywareblaster, but if it's an on-demand only product,
there should be no problem using it as long as you don't run it
simultaneously with another similar product. But if you do find that
it's causing a problem... dump it. There are other alternatives.
I have three spyware detector programs, Ad-Aware, SuperAntiSpyware, and
Malwarebytes Anti Malware. I don't run them at the same time, but I
used them as sanity checks against each other. No problem. It's good to
have second and third opinions
