New year and a change on the supported software for me 
Uninstalled SAS which was used for voluntary based research. Then installed MBAM as they are now my client 
Guess i'm a lil' bit biased but those who know me,know that i helped spread the good word on SAS when it was making its rise as the new kid on the block,so i know a diamond when i see it 
Well i know that at MBAM it has gone up another level in malware detection & removal  --

I used many but only run one as a resident, Windows Defender. I use the following in order of my preference.
SuperAntispyware (free version) Windows Defender A-Square (free version) Spybot Ad-aware
I've never used Malwarebytes Anti-Malware but I plan to install it soon. I run scans every once in a while and mainly find cookies.
Just realized I used NOD32 4.0.417 which also detects spyware. |

I am not going to list what I use. No need. I can tell you that I use all of the best, and from the poll so far, many others agree with my choices. Yes. I do us more than one. I probably have over done, but so be it. Layer upon layer works well for me. 
Thank you for putting this poll together. I just used last years to help someone else, and I can now suggest that they use this years. |

Thank you for this poll.
I am now using Malwarebytes instead of AdAware, the new free Anniversary version of which is disappointing.
Appreciated.

Nice Poll! Mahalo! 
Now that Avira Antivir Personal edition ver 9 has the same great antispyware as the paid versions, there is not much reason for me to use anything else.
However, I feel that Spyware Blaster is a fine compliment to Antivir. Plus, I will keep SuperAntispyware for a second opinion (on demand use only)...layered approach, of course. 
I have an old version of Spybot that I cannot remove and no one has been able to help and be successful. I'd like to also use Spybot on demand if I could ever get the old version off. -- "The same ferocity that our founders devoted to protect the freedom and independence of the press is now appropriate for our defense of the freedom of the internet.
