    A-squared or Lavasoft Ad Aware or stick with current settings?

    I have a few question as I am not sure which to choose.
    1. Anyone know the deep scan for a squared free will take how long?
    2. What are the system requirements for it (a squared free)?

    3. Which is better? A squared or Ad aware?

    4. I already have malwarebytes and KIS 2010. Do you guys think I need more?
    Thoughts are like a never ending ocean where it is deep, endless and dangerous

    The 'Deep Scan' takes a long time. And it will ask you to shut down your browser, as it needs to look @ cookies. You can restart your browser after it is done with them, but if you desire to delete the tracking cookies, it cannot be done if your browser is running (as they are being used by another program).

    Personally, to speed up the scan, I would also disable KIS. Just disconnect from the internet, disable KIS (or another IS/AV) and start the scan. You only have to do that once in a while. For the rest of the time a Quick or Customized scan will do.

    I have not used Ad Aware for years, so I don't know what it is now.

    A-squared and spyware blaster will do. OR malwarebytes free version, KIS 2010 and spyware blaster will also do the job.

    KIS 2010 is good ... no need of any other security software

    KIS 2010, as with any a/v, will never catch everything, so it's worth running something with it.
    pacman -Syyu life not found in sync db

    I am already using KIS 2010 with malwarebytes. Just thinking of adding on. Should I?

    Whose scan is deep scan faster? A squared or Ad aware?

    What is the system requirement of A squared? I can't find it on their web. I only saw the system requirement of A squared Antimalware.

    In my opinion if you are not infected now, there is no need of anything beyond KIS and Malwarebyte.You can install superantispyware, but it will really slow down your computer if you have not checked "DO NOT PROTECT".A monthly deep scan from superantispyware can detect the adwares and tracking cookies that were spared by KIS.So you can consider installing superantispyware along with KIS and mbam.

    Moreover a panda active scan can also detect threats missed by KIS.
