Yes but it [Spybot]
should be used with Ad AwareHow 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.

There are certain spyware that each miss, so you run both, like wearing suspenders and belts on the pants.

Spybot and Ad-Aware are complementary. One often catches items the other misses, especially on machines that have a lot of spyware loaded on them. Think about it as putting out rat traps and rat poison. Either way, the rats end up dead, but some won't eat the poison, some won't approach the trap, but most will do one or the other.

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.
