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.

Here, I mainly use Windows Defender, Spybot S&D and SUPERAntiSpyware. Occasionally I'll download Malwarebyte's Anti Malware and run that as well.

Nice job on the poll pcdebb .
I voted SUPERAntiSpyware.
For various reasons (the main reason being I never found any spyware), I've cut way down on my "layers" over the years.
In fact, about all I have now is SUPERAntiSpyware, and even that I only use on demand, and rarely even run a scan with it anymore.
I'm not saying that's the most sensible thing for everyone, but it works for me.

It's AntivirusPro2009 by WinFixer for me!
In all seriousness, Avast has been a pretty good front line defender. MB has been my first cleanup tool of choice. I'm trying OpenDNS's AdWare DNS block, to see if it helps.
I'm working on a Group Policy BHO block that I'd deploy in Active Directory networks. It wouldn't completely prevent anything, but it would severely limit most browser based infections.

Great Poll!
I use Ad aware, Spybot S&D, and PC Tools Spyware Doctor.
Ive used Spybot S&D for as long as I can remember, and it never finds anything. I know its a good program, but it does nothing for me, and I have uninstalled it on several PC's just recently. Maybe I have good surfing habits (lol), but it doesn't seem to catch anything. And I immunize all the time after updates.
