    Does Adaware & Spybot really work?

    Does Adaware & Spybot really work? or do they work for the spyware, adware companies

    sometimes i wonder if both the for & against spyware/adware companies are on the same team

    what do you think? do you have facts that can prove they work for the better?

      they both tend to crash my PC - i think its pretty infested
      SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.

              spysweeper found stuff both adaware and spybot left behind - and counterspy actually found one piece missed by spysweeper. they have 30 day free trials and maybe you'll have better luck with them. none of those 4 programs ever crashed my computer, btw.

              if you want to go the 100% free route, avast seems to find spyware as well as viruses.

                      one or two programs aren't going to find everything. Each one looks for different things. Your best best is to run about 4-5 of them, keep updated virus scanner etc. I personally like to use Ad-aware, Spybot, Microsoft Anti-Spyware, Ewido, CWS. Also like to use CleanUp 4.0 to clean up left over temp crap.

                                              You could also get an anti-virus application that blocks the spyware in real time, bitdefender does for instance..

                                                  You can get two for that price in Baltimore if you're not picky
