Hello

My AVG antispyware doesn't pick up the trojan popuper that other free spyyware scanners d ie spyware doctor, even though these other find it they wont remove it for me, AVG would, but doesn't find it scans(full, or specific). Syware doctor regester 2 as high threats with 165 infection , so i tryed with AVG and just just found some tracking cookies

Luckily Spyhunter will do thius for me but im still worried about the AVG, the i was going to keep...

Hi sgt. pepper

Please refer to the following:

My personnal belief is AVG (once updated) is perfectly fine (sorry speaking of AntiVirus)

Please be aware that to fully scan your computer you need to run many programs, Why? Because some are:
Trojans
Spyware
Rootkits
Adware
The list goes on

Basically each single program experts in just one (at least) area

Unfortunately there is not a single antivirus available that detects and removes all known malware and viruses. If we could only combine different softwares virus definitions, that would be brilliant. So, in reality there is really no ultimate antivirus application. I personally prefer Avast. Others prefer something else. All you can really do is pick one, and supplement that with applications such as Ad-Aware, Spybot and Hijackthis.

Actually acidosmosis there is one (bending the idea a little - once you check)

It's www.hitmanpro.com

But this just runs a whole bunch together in one.
