These so-called "service" anti-virus security softwares are in my
opinion bogus! The is no software that can protect you 100%. You
still should install and run the mentioned spyware removal tools since
spywares/malwars are not in the same category as viruses and those
security system may not protect you from these.
Better safe than sorry!
