[Simply Computers] SuperAntiSpyware - False positives or the only anti-malware that gets it right?

 

My laptop is protected by a multi-tude of malware scanners. Real time protection is provided by NORTON 360, and Microsoft Security Essentials. I know you're only supposed to have 1 full time scanner, but MSE is well rated, and won't give me a choice to ONLY do manual scans.

I also run scans periodically SuperAntiSpyware, MalwareBytes, PC Matic, Micrsoft Malicous Software Removal Tool, Microsoft Stand alone System Sweeper (Beta), Microsoft Security Scanner.

Only my SuperAntiSpyware "discovers/detects" Adware.HBHelper and Browser Hijacker.Adbar.

When I use SuperAntiSpyware to remove the "threats" my SPEEDBIT VIDEO DOWNLOADER doesn't work anymore. I suspect that Speedbits plug in on my IE is the source of the "threats". I really use that video downloader often for my church. Can it really be that only SuperAntiSpyware can detect these threats.....or are they false positives that I should ignore? Below is the report of the scan:

I just want to mention that the scan above was AFTER I scanned with all my other anti-malware solutions, and then even rebooted the computer. Then immediately ran SuperAntiSpywares QUICK scan.

What say the experts? Thank you.....Pete
