I have been using Spybot for about a year now and have been pleased.

However, I have recently started to wonder if it is not also the source.

Explain to me how it can find new spy-ware after it's last run, when I have had my computer off-line since then?

It may still be an outstanding program and I am most likely wrong.

I think you're wrong. Every time I scan with Spybot after just having turned on my PC, it doesn't catch anything. Back when I used Spybot and Ad-aware both, neither one caught anything.

I think you may have a different problem.
