What anti-spyware will not clog your system?
King asked:
I’m searching for an anti-spyware that have real time guard/scanning but wont use up too much computer resources. I used to have “spyware doctor” but it slows down my computer a lot. Right now i’m using free avg anti spyware and ad-aware but they both dont have real time scanning. I’ve already found a solution for anti-virus; currently using NOD32 which is way lighter than mcafee or norton; but i’m still searching for similarly light anti-spyware.

Spyware Terminator is a free anti-spyware, that comes with a highly effective real time guard. Also, it uses only about 2 MB of memory while running in the background. It also has an embedded anti-virus (ClamAV) which you can use if you don’t have any!!
The real time protection of Spyware Terminator has an additional ‘HIPS’ feature, which has not been perfected yet and will drive you mad if you don’t turn it off. So, just keep it off and your computer will continue to be protected as good as ever!!
>Another free anti-spyware with real time protection is Windows Defender. But it’s nowhere as effective as ST, and uses more memory as well (around 6 MB). You can still give it a try from the product catalogue in the Microsoft website.
>You might have heard of Google Pack. it is now offering the Spyware Doctor Starter Edition (with basic real time protection) for free!! You can choose just to download it. It is also not a resource hog as the full edition.
