I have AVG, SuperAnti Spyware, Spybot, Malwarebytes, Crap Cleaner and they work very well with each other and together they catch everything and they are free!

Where is a single example of mal-ware being caught? Just because a virus was not detected does not mean anti-virus software is working. After all, that computer (in a previous post) had anti-virus software, and then had Microsoft's Automatic Update and wwww.windowsupdate.com both disabled. Are those same functions disabled on your machine? How would you know? Or did anti-virus software detect, remove, stop, and announce that malware?

So how many have seen their anti-virus software detect Conficker - the current widespread worm? If anti-virus software has not reported mal-ware, then is it really doing anything?

All these programs have log files. I had 50 yes count em 50 trojans on my machine that have been eliminated/quarantined. I had the Rogue virus quarantined as well as several adware programs.

But you also said you have AVG, SuperAnti Spyware, Spybot, Malwarebytes, and Crap Cleaner. So we still don't know which software did anything and which was doing nothing.

Remember what the question is. Which anti-virus software is any good? Did only AVG detect them? Then why list Crap Cleaner if it did nothing? Only helpful is to list which programs detected what mal-ware.
