Do I need other programs when I'm running Malwarebytes Premium?

[KaseyW]

I currently have Spybot Search & Destroy and SlimCleaner both running on my computer in addition to Kaspersky Pure and Malwarebytes Premium.  Do I need the first two?

   Hello,

You may use Spybot as a on-demand type tool for second opinions.

But as to the other tool, I personally stay away from any one-fix-all-cleaner type.

I would dump any "slim" branded products. And have not used or recommended spybot for many years.

I am just a home user, but I agree with both previous replies, especially dumping Spybot S&D (any version).

 

As for the "cleaners", "tweakers" and "optimizers", they are pretty much snake oil, as explained here: Do I need a Windows Registry Cleaner?

 

Cheers,

ANY computer can work perfectly for a long time without registry cleaners, they are mostly scareware, useless and harmful. Buying registry cleaners you pay for nothing but for risk of harm your system. If you really need to clean your system from obsolete and private items, use CCleaner (absolutely free and safe to use).

Well, I guess that answers my question.    Many thanks to all of you for confirming what I was thinking.   Goodbye useless software!
