spybot works well for me
Would you happen to have a link, I looked yesterday and there seems to be a bunch of spybot sites. Thanks.

I use both and also use the new Microsoft Free spy tool. Spybot has several download sites as I recall.

Both are good. A lot of times one or the other finds something but can't clean it, and the other can. Spybot has had updating problems lately. Kind of a pain to watch those files fly through the air for 5 minutes and then get the bad checksum notice.
BTW Blown the only thing I ever liked about you was that avatar...
... and the fact that you irritate the hell outa Steve1. :)

Man..if you are running e-mail onsite you should look at investing in a Barracuda for your shop.

I have used them all, and I prefer the Microsoft Antispyware, although it is in beta right now, it works real well.

I have a dual 866mhz P3 with 1.5gb of memory and a dual 250gig hd. This computer has been trouble free for 5 years. I run Zone Alarms firewall, in partnership with Windows Firewall. For spyware it has always been Adaware and I recently added Windows Anti-Spyware. For Virus Protection, only Norton corporate. The newer home edition of Norton sucks! it will block secure websites and give you some weird problems.
check your PM.

I use both, with the ZA firewall alone. Have to say it has slowed down my ancient ('99) PC somewhat, but has been very effective.

I use both Adaware SE & Spybot search and destroy. They work really good. You can download them from Download .com (www.download.com)

I use both... since I'm a cheap focker and still on dial up at the house, I don't have any problems since starting to use these programs.
