Ad-Aware Se?

Question

I run ad-aware se and think it is a great program are there any other free anti spyware programs that work just as good or maybe even better?

Answer 1

There are many others, Spybot Search & Destroy is another example. The all have thier weaknesses and strengths. I personally use Ad-Aware and Spybot in conjunction (one after the other) because what one does not detect the other usually does.

Answer 2

Spybot - Search & Destroy can detect and remove a multitude of adware files and modules from your computer.
