Yup i agree. Ad-Aware and Spy-Bot are both free and together they pick up everything almost all the time. Great programs.

I've been happy with Ad-Aware. Does Spybot catch enough to be worth running two scans? Apparently so, but I'd still like to hear about the value of running them both.

yes sometimes adaware misses some things that spybot picks up. i woudl reccomend running spybot. personally i don't use it as much though because it takes longer, maybe about once a week and i use adaware a few times a week.
