Desktop Anti-Spyware Not Up to Snuff, IT Pros Say
Quote:
Desktop anti-spyware software isn't doing the job, IT professionals have concluded.
According to an international survey by proxy appliance company Blue Coat Systems, 72 percent said desktop anti-spyware programs were ineffective in protecting their networks. Blue Coat surveyed 339 IT staffers who used programs from Computer Associates International (PestPatrol), Kaspersky Lab, Lavasoft (Ad-Aware), McAfee, Microsoft, Spybot, Symantec, or Webroot Software.

Yeah, you need to be running 3 anti spyware and 2 AV apps to get a good level of protection.

I've got a couple of actively running spyware scanners and a couple I just use to scan.
Do you use two AV's? I've heard that if you have more then one, they can mess each other up...
Any suggestions on a second one?
