I would prefer a real time protection from malware, like the ones triggered by some stupid ads that automatically load on some webpages
BD does prevent it, but are there any other free alternatives to ST, besides MBAM ?
Well, first, ST does provide real protection, second, I consider it one of the best but that doesn't mean someone else will. That said, you can try SpywareDoctor by PC tools, although not sure on the real time and removal for the free version, then there is Spybot and Adaware, both which I used completely until they became hogs but you can try them and see how they work for you and once again, not sure on the limits of some of these.

I suggest looking at this list on Snapfiles...

Code:

User opinions and such are typically very good there.
