Use them both.



I just updated them both the other day and found a whole bunch of new things on my computer.

good to know, thanks. I just remember one of these types of programs, everyone said was real bad, I just couldn't remember which.

Adaware will try to remove parts of SpyBot too...so be careful when running both. Great progs though! It's also a good idea to go into Program files and delete the folders left behind from whatever crappy software infested your system. I do a search for *.tmp as well before rebooting after a scan and delete everything that it comes up with (files before folders). Your system shouldn't have recurrences then.

Its been a while since they've had an update. I run ad aware and spybot, seems they both miss things the other catches.
