| When I use Ad-Aware first and then Spybot, Spybot never finds anything
extra. Is it waste of time to use both then?

I have had times when Spybot has picked up things after running Ad-Aware, so
no I don't think it is a waste of time running them both, just consider
yourself lucky each time you get a negative scan!!
There are some things that Spybot detects that Ad-Aware doesn't... |

Speaking of Spybot, has its scan engine recently been altered so that
it doesn't detect tracking cookies? I've noticed the past few weeks that
Spybot no longer finds them....not that I really need it to. Of course,
that's all Ad-Aware SE finds on my computer. >> Stay informed about: Ad-Aware and Spybot |
