How does Ad-Aware compliment Spybot? I've been led to believe that'd be like saying although you have a Corvette, you really need to keep a Camaro close at hand to make sure you get around the racetrack.

Why limit your toolbox? I've run Ad-Aware and then immediately run Spybot S&D (and in the reverse order as well). Often the second program finds spyware missed by the first.

Another good one to try is SpySweeper. It has a shield that can be set to prevent home page hijacking, etc.

Also, "Hijack This" helped me fix a problem both Ad-Aware and SpyBot missed. I found it here: http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/
