Under the assumption that a system is infected, using anti virus, spybot, malwarebytes, super antispyware, and hjt. Is there any order of running scans that is preferred? I know that some products do a better job on certain nasties than others and have wondered if running them in a particular sequence was best. Bluejay

As far as i know, there is no such order for scanning your PC. You can first scan with antivirus... and then you can scan with the antispywares. But again, it dosent matter.
