Re: Accessible Antispyware Program

Syybot S & D does have a feature called spybot resident tea Timer  that 
stays in the background to monitor your activity as you make changes to your 
computer. You can set this up with the advanced settings under the mode 
menu.

      What is the Resident TeaTimer?  FAQ #033
      The Resident TeaTimer is a tool of Spybot-S&D which perpetually

Sypbot Search and Destroy is also an excellent program, but
does have one weakness.  It is not interactive.

That is to say you have to run scans periodically, whereas
with Windows Defender, if something nasty hits your system,
it is (hopefully) picked up on the spot, at the time, so to
speak.
