  • languy, on all of your reviews you say "the computer is locked" blah blah, but your on win 7 and your you have low ram, when u were on xp u had 800 mb its just really annoying because most computers these days have enough ram/cpu to run any AV

  • @mushfarm right but if it can feel light when I give it these restrictions it will basically be invisible to the user in a normal environment.

  • Hey man whats the best free antispyware that i should use so far im using malwarebytes and spyware blaster

  • I like to pair malwarebytes, superantispyware and spybot together.

  • Last but not least. The Koobface signature that triggered the Malwarebytes detection is just a trace detection. The detection is based on the filename. Copy any file to the Windows folder and rename it to freddy72.exe and it gets detected. Allthough it's not malicious. Why do I bring that up? Well, a-squared has a tendency to leave back 0 byte files on some alerts (like downloading data invisibly). They are harmless, but may trigger such trace signatures.

  • in my opinion it should not let anything through, trace or no trace. If it leaves things behind maybe they should fix that, right?

  • man i failed so bad at clt i got 190/340

  • a squared has the most amazing icons ive ever seen

  • Yes You CAN but i don't recommend it as your computer will go slow as a slug system crashes ect... Stuff like that either you have to get one of each but its your choice if you want to put them both. I've heard some anti virus can go together

  • a squared is my 6th lol

    when i suspect i have trojan or somthing i just run em all! lol

  • guys!!! Can you instal Squared Anti-Malware and Nod32 in the same time??? I heard somewhere it is not good to have 2 antivirus softwares!!!!!

  • A-Squared just caught ALL but ONE infection. The registry key was meaningless. That's about a 99% detection rate. Awesome! I have been debating as to whether I should use A-Squared as a second opinion. I am no longer debating.

    They have solved their false positive issue.

    Great software. A2 being this good means no longer even THINKING about Spybot S&D or the smelly AdAware. Spyware Terminator is a weak JOKE! I'm happy for A2.

  • @GWmackan : Koobface is that Facebook Worm thats been in the news. Google it.
