Help answer this question below.
I only use malwarebytes when all else fails, but usually Jerv's recommendations sort it out.
Personally, I am not a fan of either of those. Come to think of it, I don't ever recall seeing either in any independent top-ten lists or having a trusted source recommend them over what I use.
For my anti-spyware, I rely primarily on Spybot Search and Destroy with AdAware for backup.
I let Avira handle my anti-virus needs. Sure, the pop-up on the free version is annoying, but it has the highest detection rate of any AV I've seen (better than Norton or McCaffee) and does a *damn* fine job.
Both of those are free and both are recommended by some of the computer magazines I've read and knowledgeable computer people I've talked to.
Trojan Remover? Never heard of it.
Malwarebytes? Well, it has a lot smaller database, and it's free, but it really does work when everything else fails. It's like a specific tool for removing critical objects, while others are just blind.
I myself don't prefer freeware apps that much, I like professional things more.
Definitely Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. Malwarebytes is the top recommendation, for removing Malware etc. I am a computer expert myself, and i have never personally tried Trojan Remover, but Malwarebytes has been the best as it was rated 4.5/5.0 by the editors, look here.

They offer a FREE version or a PAID version. If you need the PAID version, but dont want to buy it for whatever reason, email me, and i will send you a code. With that in mind every program like the two you have mentioned will have different issues, but for Malwarebytes it has been a star. You also need a good Anti-Virus, Avg is not a good Anti-Virus so if you or anybody else is using it i advise you to use Avast instead. Avast has been around for years, and has more features, no restrictions and has very good detection rates than Avg. Here is my recommendations:
Avast and SuperAntiSpyware or Avast and Malwarebytes
Nod32 and Malwarebytes
Avg and Malwarebytes or Avg and SuperAntiSpyware
And so on. If you use Torrents, PeerGuardian 2 is a good solution to keep your privacy/downloads safe. This is what you need to keep your computer safe, but you must definitely have a Anti-Virus program.
1) Anti-Virus
2) Anti-Spyware
3) A Firewall
You can email me if you need anymore help or information.

I've recently had Vista Anti-Spyware. No icons will work, it always asks what I want to open it with, and it's annoying. Please help!

Does Norton's anti virus slow down your computer? Recently dropped Spyware and my computer has been slower. Your thoughts p/c gurus.
