extra protection

My computer is protected by F-Secure Anti-Virus internet security. The scan I run today found 22 malware. But on the report the actions taken shows: Disinfected: 0 Renamed: 0 Deleted: 0 Quarantined: 0 Failed: 0 . Another scan I ran the day before yesterday found 20 or 21 spyware that could not be removed. Should I expect that malware or spyware be found on my computer every day I do a complete scan? I’m considering of installing a free version of a removal tool for extra protection such as Spybot Search and Destroy. What do you think of that?

    Thanks for the advice. I never thought of compatibility issues. Malware seems to be a good product. I noticed on their website though that F-Secure is not listed on the compatible Antivirus products. Do you have F-Secure and Malware installed on your PC?

    Thanks for the private message you sent me. Much appreciate it. There are lots of antispyware free products out there and it's hard to find a good one. Some of them might mess up with the registry and the Pc gets worse rather get better. Anyway i did install malwarebytes and performed a scan. I followed the instructions and hopefully i won't have any problems in the future.

    Again thanks for your help.

    F-Secure isn't listed on the 'compatible anti virus' list at Malwarebytes!

    I did recently have reason to use MWB with F-Secure and there were no conflicts!

    I noticed that myself that Malwarebytes is not listed in the compatible antispyware software for F-Secure. However I do have it installed in my computer for about 10 days now and there is no problem. It actually removed spyware that it found and I’m happy with that so far. I also had Adwcleaner installed but somehow it “vanished” and it’s not in my desktop now. I don’t know what happened to that. I think Malwarebytes is pretty good I’ve read good reviews on that.
