Ad-Aware and Spybot

[r_mervart]

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.

I have run Ad-Aware SE, which detected some malware, after which
I ran Spybot, which also detected some malware - after which MS
AntiSpyware nailed another three, forgot which, though!
