    ThreatFire

    Just out of curiousity, is ThreatFire in-line with Spybot or AVG Anti-Virus?. I have all 3 on my system currently, and was wondering if ThreatFire could replace one of them? I've always had great luck with the SpyBot/AVG combo. ThreatFire seems to work alot like SpyBot and Teatimer.
