Alternative to AVG anti-spyware

[gbhall]

AVG have been saying for 12 months they will discontinue the free version of anti-spyware. Now they actually mean it !!

Anyone like to suggest alternative free anti-spyware with continuous monitoring, including emails, and with low processor and memory overheads ??

Well this one doesn't specifically have continuous monitoring, including emails
But it's way better than AVG anyway:

Malwarebytes

your list of requirements is pretty long for a free program. most of the free ones are watered down or are lacking features that are vailable in pay-for versions. I'm surprised it didnt leave beofre now since AVG has incorperated that protection into their latest version of AVG antivirus free. you can write a simple code to send your log to a particular email address if it's that important for you

I am giving MS defender a try. There are hints on the web it is not bad at all - surprise !
I already have at least three anti-spyware programs to be run on request, but wanted a lightweight background one in addition.

Not an Antivirus
Actually Antivirus softwares were recently discussed here: https://www.techspot.com/vb/showthread.php?p=704308#post704308
