anti-virus AND anti-spy?

« on: 15.11.06, 17:04:12 »


Do I need anti-virus and anti-spy software or does anti virus software include the spy-stuff? I really want my computer to be safe.
thx

Of course you should have installed both. Often anti virus software includes some spyware but I wouldn't depend on those features. Spybot S&D and Adaware are the most famous anti-spyware programs. Adware even identifies some trojan horses. You can download these programs here:

http://www.computerbase.de/downloads/software/online-sicherheit/ad-aware/ (You must only click the second link beneath Download Links - the first is a German language pack)
You can get the best AV freeware tool here:
