But I agree with lilhurricane... What is more important is which product do you support financially! Because some of the best programs like Spybot and Spyware Blaster are worth their weight in gold.

I supported both products because they changed the way I surf internet (being that 90% of all internet ads are from your own hard drive). And Popup cop and Ad-aware keep new ones from coming.

And both Spybot and Spyware Blaster offer free updates to keep them current. I am not affiliated with either company but I know that it takes time and resources to keep them both bug free and current.

So supporting these companies helps so they can afford to keep beating those sneaky, never-sleeping, bad guys.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9162577 Thu, 22 Jan 2004 22:34:42 EDT Re: Spbot is fine for me. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9148985 anon : i use spybot 1.3 and adaware 6 and spy sweeper, as well as viruscan 8 which scans for spyware and virus and also use zonealarm 4.5 pro on my windows xp system this works good for me.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9148985 Wed, 21 Jan 2004 17:55:04 EDT Re: Spbot is fine for me. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9143328 crashnburn : Why did Adaware only want you to pay and not the rest of us?

...spybot finds a heck of alot more spyware on a PC the the latter.
I'm curious how you tested this... If you ran SpyBot first and cleaned spyware out, that doesn't leave Ad-aware much to find. Say you've got 50 items of spyware and SpyBot finds 45 of them. Clean them out and then run Ad-aware. It finds the remaining 5. That doesn't mean SpyBot is better.

I run both actually. I don't care or think one's better than the other. I know Ad-aware doesn't consider c-dilla spyware, but Spybot does. At the same time, there's probably items that Ad-aware considers spyware that SpyBot doesn't... They're both small, unobtrusive, and free, so like I said, I use them both.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9124038 Mon, 19 Jan 2004 11:07:38 EDT Re: Spbot is fine for me. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9124014 NightLinks : you really should use both SPYBOT & ADWARE

theirs spyware that ADWARE doesn't catch and spybot does and vice versa.

just like TDKYO said I use ADWARE first then I use SPYBOT
