Just letting you all know, be on the lookout.
Dpybot S&D while it is free, it misses quite a lot - FOr spyware removal I consider SpySweeper and Spyware Doctor (PCtools) to be very good, from tests I've done on a system, found them to be top in their class. For virus/trojans, I use AVIRA Security Suite, also found it removes some of the tougher shit that others miss - I've had some very nasty aviax or something like that trojan and spybot shit, that neither AdAware 2008 nor Spybot S&D could remove, but was easily removed with Spyware Doctor and AVIRA.
