I used to use ad-aware and spybot, but the new version of ad-aware didn't work with jaws, so I instaled Windows Defender and SuperAntiSpyware. In the other thread, someone recommended I remove Windows Defender. Should SuperAntiSpyware be sufficient on its own or should I use another program as

Go to the following: SUPERAntiSpyware.com - AntiAdware, AntiSpyware, AntiMalware! I invented badware to cover all the nasty stuff this program finds. I'm not sure why, but since I installed it, my spam problem is down to practically nothing. Try the free version and see how you like it.
