    Default Is there realtime protection?

    I know, I actually googled first.

    So in the home edition there is "live protection"
    Does it work as you would expect it?


    I tried lavasoft's adaware and it's iffy. So many false positives.

    Spybot I ran the free editions system scan and it found proper adware and not any false positives that would break applications.

    I have avast for anti virus and it did not detect the adware that changed my webbrowser's search and new tab page in firefox.
    The program was http://www.emptyloop.com/unlocker/ it lets you unlock a file in your system and it works, but it installs adware. lavasoft's program did detect it fine, and so did spybot after I ran the scan. avast did nothing.



    So, would the realtime protection from spybot actively detect the adware before it changes my browser's home page? Is it intrusive?

    Thanks
