Hi all,
As the thread states wanting to know the best of the best.
Currently using....
Adware (Lavasoft)
AVG (hack serial)
Spybot
CClean
RegClean
Registry Mechanic (hacked with patch)
Just wanting to know if there are 1 or two products I could get for my PC that would be superior to these ones to make my life alot easier when I need to scan/repair my machine.
If you know links to full version ones that would be awesome 🎉
ADWcleaner and JRT for browser cleaning.
Free AV Avast! In my opinion.
Why not use Malwarebytes also?
Not sure about reg cleaner.
Only used CCleaner for that.
Now I know what you meant when you said you will lose something valuable.

Ok thanks for your advice, alot of the stuff I have carried over from my super old unit (windowsme pc lol)
and had various updates done to the software and used them on this machine since I am not really in the know about what is good to use these days.
Always referred to Netguide book for its opinion/free trials etc etc
AVG is shitties AV, they've psuhed spyware toolbar (gathering NXD and possibly other data) with free installs.
Also they have highest rate of false alarms (20%) but on other hand it might discover unknown threats (if you don't mind hundreds of annoying pop-ups with false alarms).
I use NOD32 - not best each year but best during long period.

I always thought it had a decent reputation, removed the toolbar but for the last year or two the updates are making it more and more annoying (Your computer started 150% faster) etc etc
Thanks for the opinion I await more from others to see how the numbers stack may end up having a look/try on most if not all since I really want something that will last me for a good period of time.

Also their current "supplier of toolbar" isn't Czech company gathering NXD data, but are some Israelis collecting data from about 200M computers (so probably something shady as AVG is like 20-30M).
Some of these datas are used to feed their site http://www.similarweb.com/
OP, I would change that setup a bit if I were you. First of all, I would add Malwarebytes and remove Lavasoft ? I believe that its not as good as it used to be. Also, what version of Windows are you running and what are your computer specs ?

My era of providing technical support and malware removal on HackForums is over, so you can stop PM'ing me about it. Sorry.
Another vote for malewarebytes its saved me many times

Yup Lavasofts Ad aware is insufficient since like 2011. They where best long time ago but where rolled by Spybot S&D back then.

That's what I thought. It used to be the best back then, but now it can't compete with the other popular Antimalwares there is now, better uninstall it and get Malwarebytes instead and keep Spybot Search and Destroy.

Ok awesome will do, running Vista Ultimate this machine is pretty old and not in the know for the requested software.

No not really on S&D. Uninstall S&D and add Superantispyware. Almost the same thing but it honestly performs better. In my opinion.

Malwarebytes free is ok ? or full premium version has fire wall etc?
Just trying to get all in one if I can less screwing around lol.
If anyone has a legit link to software + patch/crack or serial would be great.

Cracks and product keys are not allowed here.
Also, you'll be good with Malwarebytes free, as you should leave the real-time protection to your Antivirus.

Ok thats cool, I have downloaded it however I am doing a hyper scan and I am into 20+ hours so far, should it take this long??
Also what Antivirus do you suggest to combo with Malwarebytes?
I see so many suggestions on the internet I am super confused.
Thanks.
