i read a few post in other forums about this one, they said it got rid of some bad juju that adaware and spybot wouldn't get rid of. it was more than a few who said this. so, i installed it and ran the scan. pretty indepth scan. stable too. of course it didn't find nothing,as do adaware and spybot....

Great to hear that it didn't find anything 
If you are using XP then I suggest setting a restore point now you know your system is clean. I do that each time after updating the programs & then scanning with all.
It does sound like an indepth cleaner, went to several sites to read user reviews including majorgeeks.com The rating is 4.3 out of 5 That is a a really good rating. I will install it maybe next week. Thank you for the info
You can go to the Windows utilities link I gave you & post the info there.

Hey,
I am also looking for a good anti-spyware for my system, recently I am used an rogue anti-spyware 'Adware Alert' of www.adwarealert.com and this is really a bad one, affect my system and creating big problem for me in scanning downloading etc..
so beware from these types of rogue anti-spyware..
Thanks!!

I use SuperAntiSpyware as well. I also use Spybot and AVG Antispyware (formerly Ewido). I scan at least once a week with each. Super (which I use last)has never found anything, Spybot seldom finds anything. AVG (used first) usually takes care of anything found. It's a rare occasion that anything is found at all though. I sometimes wish they WOULD ALL find something just to let me know they work

I beg to differ,"system no restore" happens all to often which is why i gave up & turned it off & now use this instead,it will revert your registry regardless any changes or not,if you've never had the "choose another restore point nonsense" then you've been extremely lucky,no doubt you would'nt be comfortable about turning restore points off,i was the same but now i have no prob whatso ever,use it in conjuntion you can thank me later

Back on topic: in regards to antivirus & spyware scanners,it seems my fully patched OS is doing it's job coz neither software find anything ever apart from the usual login cookies,quite frankly if all you do is visit the same sites all the time you could more than likley dump both & if you decide to venture to a new site or just general surfing there's always returnil ,http://www.returnilvirtualsystem.com/ ,it works quite well & does'nt give me issues like sandboxie does ,it's quite good for me since i'm always surfing & trying out & installing freebies so it allows me to install as much as i want without stufing up the registry with more junk,the only downside is if a ware needs a reboot all changes are lost..lol..

I have it also, it seems to work pretty well but it is usually the last one I use. I think spybot is the best, I also have adaware 2007 and spywareblaster, Nod32 antivirus and use Windows firewall. All are free except the Nod32. I make sure I empty my cache and go through my cookies and delete the one's I am not subscribed to before I run it. So far they all have worked pretty well although the new Adaware 2007 always finds 2 MRU (most recently used) which are harmless. Usually it is the last url typed. The teatimer in the new spybot takes a little getting used to, at least for me it did.
I hate making decisions and am self taught so that explains a lot.

Spybot is a great little proggy but I must admit the 'teatimer' became a bit of pain in the butt so I turned it off
