What is the best relaible Spyware and Adware detector - remover?

I use Spy Sweeper

Spybot

AD-aware SE and Spybot have worked really well for me. AD-aware SE now downloads updates just like NAV.

I use Ad-Aware SE Professional. Works pretty nice.

i like using both adaware and spybot

indeed

Ad-Aware SE Professional along with HijackThis and BHODemon.

That's a lot. Thanks guys.

I've just installed spybot and it brought up (found) IE security issue (from 2002 vulnerability list) EVEN with my XP SP2 installed.
That's really weird, imho.

Ad-Aware SE Professional

Same here

Spy Sweeper does a better job than Ad-Aware and Spybot S&D, but its not free. for all good and bad removers, check this website:

AdSubtract Pro

spybot only. it didnt find anything for ages tho.

Ad-Aware & Spy Sweeper & SpywareBlaster(dont remove spyware but protects from the crud installing)

spybot on it's own, all you need

I recall there being a neowin article about this spyware issue.

It suggested the install of Spybot, Spywareblaster and running Sun Java as opposed to Microsofts' Holey Java runtime.

I also use Adaware, can't be too careful.

Good Luck bashing those bugs,

Spybot does the trick.

Ad-aware Professional (there's also a free version), Spybot Search & Destroy, PestPatrol (excellent program for the money) and Spyware Blaster. Nothing gets through. NOTHING.

for spyware spysweeper or spybot

I use AdawareSE Pro, Spybot & SpySweeper(nice real-time protection). I've found that each will pick up things that the others miss.

Thanks, guys.
