just tried out Spybot and its new immunization feature. bleh. i think its way too nitpicky. the immunization picked up a cookie from both the AT homepage and the forums homepage...adaware also picked up 7 things spybot didnt hmm...who uses what, and what should i use? i'm thinking of using both actually, although adaware seems to be better supported, since its produced by a company and not a single individual...

I actually prefer Ad-Aware 6 Pro over Spybot,however there`s no reason why you can`t use both,I just use Ad-aware on its own.

Adaware 6 is my prefered shield from those spying things.

adaware is better if you want to just run, click delete and forget.

spybot is better if you want more control.

if you really want to be rid of all spyware if possible, run both.


I tend to run one of the other occasionally, theyre both as good as each other, the only real difference is preference.
