re: Ok but, How Many Anti-Spyware Apps??? Wednesday, September 20, 2006 at 2:12 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Brad (1 messages posted) I've got Norton Anti-Virus, STOPzilla , Spybot, Webroot Spysweeper, Ad-Aware, McAfee, Spyware Blaster and about:blank 2005 running in my status bar at all times. (I figure it'll freak out the adware so bad they'll never come back.) You didn't answer Chris's question. Are there some I don't need? Sorry. I couldn't resist :-) After reading through this thread (and chuckling) I think I'll go with Norton Anti-Virus, Webroot Spysweeper and Ad-Aware.
