Certainly. Spybot Search & Destroy is a very, very good Anti-spyware Program.

Below is the link for info about it.

And it is compatible with Defender and AVG8

 

http://www.spybot.info/en/index.html

 

Spybot Search & Destroy 1.6 is a very good, FREE Anti-Spyware Program.

Download, install, update, and immunize your System with it.

Then SCAN with it.

Update it, and scan your System once a fortnight.

WinDef is a 'real-time' anti-spy (A-S) application and AVG8 is a

'real-time' anti-virus (AV) application; They both work together in

harmony.

 

Adding additional 'on-demand' A-S and AV application wil not interfer with

the 'real-time' programs.

 

So, go ahead and install:

Spybot Search & Destroy - Free

http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html

--and-- (if you wish)

SuperAntispyware - Free

http://www.superantispyware.com/superantis...efreevspro.html

 

Note: If you ever experience problems with AVG8 (a lot of users have) go

for a good quality alternative such as:

Avira AntiVir® Personal - FREE Antivirus

http://www.free-av.com/

(The free version won't scan your emails.)

 

Why You Don't Need Your Anti-Virus Program to Scan Your E-Mail

Ensure your e-mail program is configured to display e-mail messages in

'Plain Text' only.

You may wish to consider removing the 'AntiVir Nagscreen'

AVG, which is an anti-virus program, isn't at issue here. Regarding SS&D and

Defender, which are both anti-spyware programs, yes, you can have both

installed at once. In fact, no single anti-spyware program is anywhere near

good enough, and running two or more is the prudent thing to do.
