I'm looking for decent malware protection. I mainly used to use AVG, but
it didn't seem at all effective so I switched to Avast. It isn't much
more effective and has a ridiculouse GUI and intrusive updating. It
seems to be a bit better than AVG at detecting infections, but if they
were doing their job properly they shouldn't let the infection get onto
the PC in the first place.
I decided I'd have to pay for something better, and as I have 4 PCs to
protect I was thinking of using F-Prot, because it seems to be fairly
highly rated and you can use one licence on up to 5 PCs and it's still
cheaper than a single machine licence for NOD32 or Kapersky.
Then I started looking at free anti-spyware programs. At least one
review site said AdAware and Spybot had fallen behind the times and I
came across a strong recommendation for Spyware Terminator. It includes
real-time protection in the free version and also includes integration
with ClamAV so it protects against viruses as well. Is this likely to
offer good protection on its own or should I still buy F-Prot too?
