I ran it alongside Adware, Spybot S&D and Xipsoft, and it didn't pick up anwhere near the ammount of spyware the others did.

Perhaps because Microsoft's product doesn't bother with cookies. Adaware treats cookies as 'spyware', which will naturally lead to many more hits.

I wasn't talking about cookies.
Kthx :)

Well, I've found stuff that MS Anti-spyware found that adaware didn;t and vice vera, so I don't think can say there is one anti-spyware app that is the end-all to spyware. I've also found that MS anti-spyware is better at removing the worst kind of spyware -the 'infectious' kind.

Of course I haven't had spyware problems in quite a long time. Perhaps Adware and SBSD have improved since then?
