Hi Remoc

I just downloaded, installed and run Malwarebytes, I was surprised (and not so surprised) to find four pieces of malware on my PC, i.e. a "Trojan.Agent", two instances of "Hijack.Help" and a "Hijack.Homepage".

Whether they are real malware or false positives I don't know but I deleted them anyway.

However, it also goes to show that different anti-spyware apps specialise in different malware types and it pays to have a number of AS apps to take care of the various problems that sneak into your PC while surfing.

Also, malware writers don't stand still, they are constantly looking for new ways to infect PCs without being detected, therefore Remoc you are correct when you point out that Ad-Aware and Spybot are "dated" (OK, outdated).

But I still believe that the old malware threats are still out there it just that now we have to contend with new and evolving threats as well.
