Re: 'searched' virus? HELP please
This is good advice as far as an installed antivirus program is concerned, but not for adware/spyware detection. It pays to have at least two (many people use Spybot Search and Destroy and Ad-Aware.) Both are free, and there are others.
More than one of these programs is needed because one will find stuff the other doesn't, almost every time you run them.
Having more than one antivirus program running in the background is bound to cause trouble, but having and using more than one spyware/adware detector is good.
Strongly agree with Carol, Brad and Coury. Don't don't don't run multiple detector programs - that's an absolute recipe for disaster waiting to happen.
