???

AASE doesn't have a option for a scheduling scanning and automatic updating.But I would also like a high detection rating also.I have MS AntiSpyware also running in the background as a secondary one along with Spybot,CCleaner,cwshredder,and hijackthis.

Uninstall Microsoft Antispyware and install its successor, Windows Defender.

spywareblaster - stop it before it gets on your machine.

You might want to checkout Webroot Spysweeper. You can download a demo to check what it can do. I match it with Norton's Anti-virus and I've been spyware and virus free for the past few years. You can try the freebies, but that's completely your choice.

agreed excellent app.

Spy Sweeper and Spyware Doctor have the best detection/removal/scheduling options IMHO.

I just went and purchased Spyware Doctor. Maybe it was after reading so many of your posts suggesting it...maybe because the free version always was able to detect everything but couldn't remove it?

Eitherway I highly suggest it as well.

Thanks. I provided Shadenfro a link to Spyware Doctor 3.2 that detects & removes. It can be found in the consolidated security sticky at the top of this forum, and it's also listed in my Adware, Spyware & Virus Removal Guide.
