I currently run both SS&D and Ad-Aware on my XP computer because I was told that it was best to run two spyware programs to catch anything that the other may miss. I imagine this has an impact on the speed of my computer.
If I were to use Malwarebytes, could I remove both of the spyware programs I currently use and feel confident that I'm fully protected?

Definitely – I feel that Malwarebytes is more effective than both of those programs combined, not to mention the increased speed by running one program instead of two.
