At home it is not needed as I have EAM installed. But I do EEK on the Laptop at work wit Norton.

EEK is the best on-demand scanner! I'm happy to see the great folks at EEK is putting in a lot of hard work as with the other top contenders.

I recommend everyone to use EEK as it is a great on-demand scanner. EEK and Norton is a great combination @frogboy ! I have the same combo on my laptop right now and I have never had any issues with this. Granted, my entire security configuration is a bit paranoid.

No need because I already have EAM! But if I didn't have EAM, EEK would be the must have!

I use EEK + ZAM + HP + NPE and really EEK is an excellent product, even free is very complete and very good in detection. A product that was very good but has been coming down for some time is Malwarebytes. Still good for detecting PUPS and Adwares but against other types of threats I see it falling a lot.
