both of those are really good, they just don't get updated with the exact same reference files at the exact same time so of course one is going to find some others don't.

Well no shit.


That's not the only reason either - they both catch different parts of programs, and they both have different scanning mechanisms and approach the cleaning in a completely different way.
But since you're the resident expert on spyware apps, I don't need to tell you that.

If you've got a point to make, why not just say it? What's the deal with everybody trying to condescend about geeky software? :icon27:

haha never said i was the expert, i have both, but normally just use adaware.

referring to scanning mechanisms, both can be set up from root scans and beyond, but most people just point and click "next", "scan", etc, without bothering to check out the advanced settings/options. oh, but i'm sure you already knew that.

Yes, I did.
If you look carefully, at the bottom left corner during scanning, you can catch an idea of the difference in their basic scanning routine. This doesn't change due to advanced configuration options.

out of curiosity, i recently reformatted and didn't install adaware or spybot- but i did install the microsoft anti-spyware beta package. is this not sufficient along with symantec antivirus?

yeah, the routines are different as is MS's beta (which sucks, btw), but i don't see Spybot having a better scanning technique than Adaware. imo, one's got more eye candy than the other and that's about it. it's not as easy to compare as say, browsers are.

I never tried to say one was better than the other, you just inferred that. I just said that SpyBot catches things that AdAware doesn't, which is why I run both of them, as you can see in the screenshot.

Friend of mine made that for another friend and i made a picture haha.

didn't look at your screenshot. just saw your post regarding Spybot. i don't see why you would say that then and still run Adaware. if Spybot finds stuff Adaware doesn't and you have both installed, then Adaware finds stuff that Spybot doesn't also, but i didn't see you saying that.

Because he didn't ask about Ad Aware, he asked what SpyBot was! :lol:

that's a good way to skirt it.

Yeah just email the guy and and let him know which sizes you want.

He says, "(up to two sizes only)". So I asked for 1600x1200 & 2048x1536.

Got a response within 2 days and he emailed a link to download the zips.

Sweet deal and some really nice images.

Surely you're not serious.

I have AdAware and SpyBot both in my little shortcut menu. He asks what SpyBot is. I tell him it's basically like AdAware, but catches some things that AdAware doesn't. Since I've got them both installed, it's obvious that I don't prefer it exclusively over AdAware (which you've said yourself).

But you think I have somehow intentionally implied that SpyBot is better, and I am refusing to admit that I meant to imply that?

What is this, fucking application espionage or something? :icon27:

SpyBot S&D IS NO BETTER OR WORSE THAN ADAWARE, IT IS MERELY A USEFUL ADDITION TO ANY RESPECTABLE SPYWARE SECURITY SUITE THAT YOU MAY OR MAY NOT WISH TO RUN ON YOUR HOME PC










Now back to the desktops!

Spybot, Adaware, HijackThis, and the Microsoft tool all find different things. Some don't count, like Adaware thinking your homepage being about:blank is a virushackerwormbomb or whatever, but they all find different things.

Using all of those, deleting your cache and temp folders, running regcleaner and whatever else you can find should do the trick.
