Hey everybody. Alright well I'm trying to decide what to use for spy ware protection between free windows defender, and ad-aware free. I'm not majorly concerned because I already have a firewall, anti-virus, but something for spy ware is probably a good idea as well. Anyway I don't mind windows defender but I never know what in the hell it's doing, my task manager tells me that it has two running files that boot up with my computer but does that mean it's actively protecting me? It's not like it gives me an icon in my task bar or anything. As for ad-watch that things alright I like the fact that it actually shows up in my task bar which programs should if there running, all though is the built in ad-watch live thing simply for ad-ware, or spy-ware too?
