Spybot or Adaware

all of the above

yep, use both. Why go with just one when you can have both

Spybot picks up things that adaware misses and vice versa so I use both and haven't had spyware problems since.

I only use adaware, but it's handy to have both installed just in case. Of course, prevention is better than cure - get a good firewall and anti virus as well.

I use Adaware and Pestpatrol. Both respond to different. Since I have them...... I don't have problems.

Both

use both

those two and 'hijackthis' make a preety great team

i'm leery of using spyware removers now, last week i used Ad-Aware and I removed the shit it found but one thing it couldn't remove and it gave me an alert box that asked me if I wanted to remove whatever it was the next time i booted up. So I clicked yes. I never got back into my computer - cost me 350 bucks and three days - not sure what happened, seems like it triggered a badass virus, not sure if that's possible but it seems too coincidental that the virus went nuts after running Ad-Aware.

i should have let sleeping dogs lie maybe and got rid of the virus with anti-virus software.

i'm using this now http://www.javacoolsoftware.com
i want software that stops the shit before it gets downloaded but also isn't a nuisance. I was just on mcafee.com looking at their
spyware prevention software. maybe i'll buy it.

i can't wait for the class action suits that are going to come against these fuckers - huge money involved here.
