pest patrol

Does anyone run Pest Patrol or ANTIY Ghostbusters on their system. Just wondering about recomendations for these programs, dislikes, etc. These two programs have found problems with my computer when others have said that my system is clean.

I like PestPatrol

I also use Spybot. PestPatrol finds more things; it is very thorough. Spybot finds recent files and log files.

Hi stormin29,

I installed the trial version of ANTIY Ghostbusters about an hour ago. I scanned my system and it said it found two trojans on my system. I-Worm.Happy and I-Worm.HappyTime. So, I scramble to find the fixtools from Symantec and no trojans found!

I have used and trusted Symantec (Norton) for many years. In my opinion Ghostbusters found false-positive results.

As far as Pest Patrol goes, they claim they can remove many infections automatically. Well, in my opinion, Spybot and Adaware have gotten so good in detections and removals (even some viris' and trojans!), I think I'll stick with their free tools.

What are your results/opinions?

Tom
