...does Adaware still catch stuff that spybot and MS antispyware don't? or should i just drop adaware all together.
SeVeReD, see this article:
»Anti-Spyware App Performance
and the link to the report
»windowssecrets.com/050127/#story1

This report compared effectiveness of standalone applications and various combinations, since each package seems to catch different stuff than the others. While I've used AdAware and Spybot in combo for a while (and just added MS), the report suggests that Giant AntiSpyware (MS) is the best alone but only catches 63% of the test spyware. The best combo they suggest is Giant AntiSpyware plus Webroot Spy Sweeper (70%) or Ad-Aware SE Personal (69%). Giant + Spybot only caught 67%. Anyway not a huge spread from 67%-70%
