I've used Spybot, AdAware SE Personal, and MS Defender. I tried a few spyware scans and it found all sorts of stuff that ALL 3 of those missed!
I've heard good things about Spysweeper and Spyware Doctor. Which do you think I should try?
Have you had experience (good or bad) with either?

Personally I consider AdAware the best free addaware removal! Spyware doctor is not free! I tried it and it's good! It also has active protection against spyware! As for spysweeper I never used it...

I have also used AdAware and Spyware doctor...so far Ive noticed that Spysweeper is a decent program and does the job just as good. I have it on an olds system i use and had no spy probs for the years ive used it.
whatever you do dont use spybot s&d unless you plan on buying it

I've tried Adaware before, but it has limitations for some reason. Spysweeper is the best. It's not only thorough, but smart. It looks for and updates new threats EVERYDAY. I've used it for a year and have only gotten one virus, but it was my fault for not following instructions when I was downloading music and it warned me that the file could be malicious. It got rid of it though. Get spysweeper for your PC.

Spyware Doctor works really good. Ive used it for a long time, it doesnt just find the big stuff but it also finds the small stuff that can lead to bigger problems.

if you have a spyware problem, then you definetely need some professional help, fortunately companies like microsoft and symantec are aiding for free all computer users, since this spyware problem is actually doing so much harm to their business that most large companies like ibm and microsoft are teaming up to try to eradicate this problem.
I suggest you find a complete resource against spyware with free distributable programs, one such resource could be found here:
