      Don't be too shocked.

      Spybot doesn't catch everything either.


      But if you use them both, you should be pretty good.

        No, it probably doesn't catch EVERYTHING but it is much better than adaware. I had this crazy redswoosh on mine. Keystroke recorder, screenshot capturer, ability to remotely access my system, etc.

          I have to run both of them - They BOTH miss thing that the other catches.

              Adaware free version doesn't catch everything, but the paid version should do the trick.

                You should do yourself a favor and run SpyBot. For shits-n-giggles if nothing else.

                        This program is pretty good too, disable anything that is in your start up. http://www.startupmechanic.com/

                          I run them both to be safe. Usually one finds something that the other one didn't.
