I was wondering about something, and I thought I'd get the answer from those who would know the answer. If I didn't have Avast on my computer, would Spybot Search and Destroy, and Malwarebytes be able to give my computer complete coverage against threats of all kinds on my computer? I'd really like to know.

Try my 3 MArcs: I.D.#67166:Protect the Artifacts!! I.D.#97724:Level-Up Time. I.D.#243803:Witch War! Salem vs. Croatoa!

No. Both of those are Spyware programs. They don't do Anti-Virus.

If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

But here are 2 online AV scanners:
Panda AV scan
Trend Micro AV scan

Its not active AV protection but its free.

better than those is Avira antivirus. It is free from free-av.com. Independent tests rate it higher than anything else.

I second the use of Avira. I used to use Avast and AVG before this but they both started to feel bloated and I felt the protection was subpar. Installed Avira and haven't looked back.

Avira all the way.
