Free version of Lavasoft Ad-Aware SE does not offer too much features espeically the real time detection so go for Spybot which is completely freeware!

Combination of ad-aware se and spybot gives you better result. Also cwshredder tiny but handy tool against coolwebsearch.

Besides Adaware and Spybot, I got good results using EMCO Malware Destroyer. They also have a paid version that can scan remote computers on your LAN.

Spybot doesnt have a very good reputation out there, so better stay away form it

navjotjsingh · 11-04-06, 03:35 AM

When did Spybot lost reputation...its among the best ones out there? Do you have any proof that it is not good and on what basis it lost its reputation??

I have both Spybot & Ad-Aware (Lavasoft) installed on my PC and they does not allow anything to enter in my PC. I'm quite happy with the performance of these two softwares. I recommend both of these to anyone.

I use both Spybot and AD-Aware.
Both are excellent.

Of course Ad-Aware SE is the most one can be trusted
