I use both just in case, I download so much stuff, I've taken by computer back to factory settings (hard reboot) so many times because I somehow or another ALWAYS get viruses and stuff, so now I use a bunch of different stuff to try and keep it on the DL.

But, yeah, I think that Spybot is a REALLY good anti-spyware prog, in my opinion better tahn Ad-Aware.

yeah adware and spybot are very good you might wanna try AVG anti-virus also if none of the above work download.com and trail version

if all these fail then the spyware is to deeply encrypted in your computer and you will have to reconfigure your computer but i wouldnt suggest it unless your computer is like fucked haha

hahaha I actually have Spy bot, and AVG (AVG keeps telling me that I have an illegal version and that the problem will be sorted soon)
But AVG is always running and i just use SPY-Bot to double check my comp is clean.....lol

Spybot/Ad-Aware/AVG Free the 123Knockout Punch... Just make sure you have the most current updates/detection rules...

I am so used to AVG and have it on 3 puters... I will try your recom and see if it catches anything,always a good idea to change up and see...

being aware of what you are doing is the best anti anyone can get... AVG suits me I guess because I know even "without AVG-Free" ,,,I am being invaded...

I guess it is a matter of preference,Web based check are fine... The real plus in web based is it does not take up your PC's resources to continually monitor...

i use trend micro often, how ever i downloaded a trial version of spytracker? or i think thats what it was called " damn weed ", but it was much better for spyware then trendmicro. I still use trendmicro for virus scans.
