Question
Hi Lorry,

I am writing to you now, in asking your opinion and what do you recommend Spybot Search and Destroy or Anti-Malware-Malwarebytes to download? Anti-Malware-Malwarebytes takes care of both SpyWare and Adware, am I right about this? And having both the Anti-Virus and Spy-Ad-Ware both in your computer is fine, right? Thanks.

Sincerely yours,

Martin C. Meyer

P.S. What you said, If using your email address to register, that is one thing, many times companies will ask you for it just so they may send you misc. info.. But, that is O.K., right?

Answer
Hi Martin,

Malwarebytes should take care of everything, using Spybot after wards 'might' find something that Malwarebytes missed but that is rare.

Many times giving out your email address to companies is so that they may send you information about their products and/or a third party company's. If you give it to them, if poccaible check the part that states that you will accept information from them but not from a third party.

Hope this helps!
