I heard AVG had the best detection rates to find viruses. I heard Malwarebytes is really good when it comes to Malware. And I heard SuperAntiSpyware was pretty good. Is this good protection? If not, reply back and give me the best ones. I don't want crappy protection that will give me viruses, spyware, malware, adware, etc. BTW: Does this combination removes all the viruses, spyware, malware, adware, etc?
What will happen is certain virus guards will work well for awhile until a large population of pc users specifically windows users start using the same virus protection software, it also has something to do with efficiency but that is another explanation I'd have to get into but don't really care for.
AVG sorta messed up my PC by not letting it boot cause it had some wierd error but it was good while it worked, I now use Microsoft Security Essentials
AVG slows down my desktop on scans, so when I got my laptop I just used Malware bytes, and MSE. Funny thing is today I had a dream(or rather a nightmare) that my laptop got a virus. Felt very real.
Malwarebytes is great and I definitely recommend it, but I wouldn't rely on it. I use Norton because my dad payed for a subscription for me, but any AV will do really. AVG, Norton, MSE, Kaspersky, etc. Unless you go to some really shady sites they will all provide ample protection. Run a Malwarebytes scan every once in a while and you should be clean.
So I scanned both AVG, Malwarebytes & SuperAntiSpyware on Safe Mode. AVG & Malwarebytes didn't find anything, but SuperAntiSpyware found 32 adware cookies on my laptop (I'm afraid someone looked at bad stuff on the Internet). Since it's remove, am I safe? Or is this a sign that I might have more of this "adware" in the future?

the problem with superantispyware is that it has "pretty low standards" so it pretty much recognizes anything unknown or harmless as a virus, those "adware tracking cookies" it detects are actually harmless. SAS is still a good free antispyware...helped me remove some big spyware I had once (which didnt let me surf the web, but it did let me play WoW)
Thats funny u ask. I jsut did a scan with Malwarebytes and found a few and deleted em. I've been using it for a long time. Works great. silentnightmere
I use Malwarebytes but I use SuperAnti Spyware also. SuperAntiSpyware finds stuff that malwarebytes does not.

I scan my computer with SuperAntyiSpyware every week. I would suggest you do the same. That reminds me...
