On my new laptop I’m by Avast! 5. Does it get rid of spyware or do I need another program such as Super Anti-Spyware to keep spyware off?
Also, does Super Anti-Spyware work with Windows 7?
Best answer:
Answer by Dave Computer Cleaner
Avast will detect and remove spyware but it doesn’t hurt to get a second opinion from SuperantiSpyware, Malwarebytes is more effectual than SuperantiSpyware scan with it once a week.

And yes they work on Windows 7

=Question 1=
Yes, keep them both.
Whilst Avast! can detect spyware, it is primarily an anti-virus. ‘SUPERAntiSpyware’ does a much better job at result and removing spyware, but offers no anti-viral capabilities.
It’s usually fine to run anti-malware applications alongside each other, so I would add MalwareBytes Anti-Malware (MBAM) for added protection. (Note: this practice is not advisable for anti-virus software).
=Question 2=
Yes, SUPERAntiSpyware will work with Windows 7
From the official FAQ:
“SUPERAntiSpyware.com software is compatible with 2000, XP Home/Professional, 2003, Server 2008, Outlook and Windows 7.”
Just personal opinion of course. I use Avast , I have also got superantispyware and Malwarebytes. I recently changed to Comodo firewall which seems fine and I seem to boot up quicker. They are all free for personal use and I have had no distress with Viruses Trojans Hackers etc. I also use Windows Defender from the Microsoft site. It is safe to use two anti-spy harvest but never use more than one A/V as it can cause conflicts. You should run A/V and anti spy weekly.
