Small footprint, and their customer support actually answers emails!

Defender recently got a major overhaul with a new engine, is this the one you were using, or maybe the older version?

Within the last 6 months, "SUPERantispyware" from a creditable source has come on the "scene". For real-time protection, there is a "Pro" version with a 30 day FREE trial available at www.superantispyware.com .

If so, real time protection isn't nearly as vital as if you were using IE. Spybot S&D offers real time protection with Tea Timer, or SpywareGuard uses very little memory and that's it's sole purpose. As was mentioned you could add SpywareBlaster, but it doesn't actually provide real time monitoring in that sense.
