What was your first second-opinion scanner?

[Der.Reisende]

Ad-aware and Spybot if they could be considered as such. MBAM more recently. Zemana currently.

Me2 when it comes to Spybot Don't like the new versions that much, to advertised MBAM too, combinded with HMP and HMP.A short time EEK, now very happy with ZAM Premium (testers license) and still HMP.(A)

**Please remember that this is your first or first few seond opinion scanners, NOT the ones you like or use now.**

MalwareBytes Antimalware. Was recommended everywhere so i gave it a try. With the ugly GUI.

I liked that UI, I'm the only one that liked it .

I mean, back in the day it was great. When all softwares had that simple interface. Simply now, advanced then. Now, with all the material design stuff, and the designing softwares getting constantly updated, it's much more easier to create better looking UI's. And simple is seen as old. If i could correct myself, i'd remove "ugly" and say "outdated".

Malwarebytes Antimalware premium.
I still use it but it loves eating my RAM! 186Mb on a good day.

My first was Spybot Search & destroy, but after that, been using MBAM for years now.

Compliments my main protection perfectly.

Like so many it was MBAM. Now my go-to scanner is ZAM - love the speed and great detection rates. Still use HMP as a 'second' second opinion scanner.
