I have SUPERAntiSpyware, free edition. It takes Forever scanning.
Is there an alternative I can have ?

Malwarebytes, for one.

I also have Avast free edition. Will it do without SuperAntiSpy ? Thank you.

The two have completely different purposes. Avast is for virus
protection, SuperAntiSpy is for malware protection.
