I have a spyware problem again. I have Spybot - Search and Destroy. I know there is another really good Spyware killer, but I forgot where to get it. Any idea were it is?

But both together, plus don't use IE, is even better :p

A blag there eh?

I splat bots for a small fee, or you could let Psycotic speak to them, that should kill um dead, mwhehehehe

No, but yes Adaware is the best, just don't forget to update the reference file (you'll see what I mean when you load it) straight away else it is about 5 months out of date.

Use both? Are you sure? Why can't Spybot pick up everything? Is it due to its style of searching?

Bah :(

I'm not sure why, I only use SpyBot, but running the both of them can't hurt can it?

Becasue they're different programs so search differently, yes :p They're different and get updates at different times too. AdAware is certainly easier to use and looks nicer, but Spybot is the better program overall, but even together, don't expect them to catch absolutely everything, since neither are perfect and neither will get recent dodgy stuff that they haven't been updated to detect yet.
