Spybot... where to download? What drawbacks?

1. I currently use Lovasoft's Ad-Aware. Do I need Spybot also?

2. Are there any drawbacks to using Spybot?

3. Any particular comments with setting up Spybot?

4. What's the best link for downloading it?

Thanks
Doug

Spybot is a good piece of software and many use it along side Ad-Aware. Excellent support if needed and frequent updates.

... great minds, and all that ... ...

... I don't use Spybot to clear cache or history, or edit registry ... I have other stuff for that ... and especially for a newbie, I think this will help prevent 'overcleaning' ...
