I recently came across an article from Consumer Reports about anti-spyware software. I can't believe they rated a product from Microsoft #1. First off this only seems to find less than a quarter of what is removed by Ad-aware or Spybot. Spysweeper finds even more than all the others products added together. I wonder who is supposed to have an unbiased opinion here. Maybe they rate it like that because it's free, but I would rather invest $30 in a product that is going to work like spysweeper. I bet this same organization would vote M$ firewall the best also, what a joke. Anyone who uses Windows relays on third party software for security. If your not then plan on having problem in the near future. Microsoft needs to be more aggressive with some of their products, and when they come out with their A/V product I'll make sure to remove it. Spysweeper is they best piece of software thirty bucks can buy. Yah it finds a lot of traces, but these are all files that I don't care to have. Also I don't even see a mention of Symantec's product, which may not be that good, but it's sure better than MacAfee garbage. I use Symantec A/V and Spysweeper, run sweeps weekly and spyware isn't an issue for me.
