I use them about once a trimester or if there are issues. I'm not at school
so I can't tell you which version of ad-aware we use- but remember that it
wasn't free. Spybot runs in real time protection mode- run scans once in a
while. But I'm considering taking the others off and just going with
malware since it was the only one that picked up the antivirus 2008 problem.
I have kept spybot and adware on for now, but if they don't pick up anything
different than malware- they'll be gone next time I have time. I was using 2
different ones because I found that they picked up different things.
The guys from compu-works who come when there is a problem also recommended
malwarebytes.

Do you run both Ad-Aware and Spybot in real-time protection mode, or turn
them off and run if problems?
Which version of Ad-Aware are you using? I know the free version is for
home use only and is not suppose to be used in schools. (Both Spybot and
Malwarebytes allow schools to use the free versions.)
Thanks,
Renee

We recently had the same problem with the antivirus 2008 and I fixed it with
malwarebytes. None of the others detected it. We use Symantec and have
ad-aware and spybot on the computers as well. I plan to put malware on all.
