No individual is the best, which is why we all use multiple apps...

I use Ad-Aware & Spybot :P

Not too keen on MS Anti-Spyware. Even though I choose to switch off the "system tray icon" it still continues to ask me. Loads of niggling things really, but maybe it's just me.

Like Samurai said, use more than one.

Adaware, SpyBot, Spysweeper..

I dont like MS Anti-Spyware either but I suppose you can try that too.

Counterspy prolly has the best detection ratios.

Then giant/MS AS.

Then spysweeper.

But remember detection ratios arent everything.

Some anti-virus apps and some anti-trojan apps (namely ewido and a-squared), also have good detection ratios of spy/adware, aswell as there specialist fields. The cleaning engines of some anti-virus apps isnt good however.

Hola!!

yo te recomiendo el spywareblaster, y el Sin Espias, este ultimo tal vez no lo conozcan, pero es el mejor y mas rapido, va por la version 6.5 (en español), en ingles creo que se llama no spy, y no se por que version ira...

saludos!!

I use Ad-Aware Pro + Spybot S&D. I also use Spysweeper for a second opinion :P

I use Aluria AntiSpyware (very good) and MS AntiSpyware for scanning (Aluria usually catches everything before MS anyway) and Spybot and SpywareBlaster for some protection.

Used to also scan with CA eTrust PestPatrol 5, SpySweeper 3 and Ad-aware SE Pro but PestPatrol's updates were like 5 mb each time and Ad-A's and SpySweeper's scans usually didn't pick anythng up after MS's scan :P

Also I didn't like using Ad-A and SpySweeper cuz they used too much CPU Ressource on my comp :wacko:
