Ad-aware is best for spyware. AVG focuses more on anti-virus and trojans. Your best option is to install and use both.

In addition to Ad-Aware, I'd recommend Spybot S&D. It's also free, and you'll note that when scanning your computer with both, one will pick up what the other's missed.

Bumping this thread because I seem to have something ICKY on my PC and Ad-Aware/AVG are not seeming to take care of it and I'm just curious if we have any computer-savvy folk on here that would like to help a sister out. Smile

As AP said, Spybot Search and Destroy will catch some things AdAware won't, and vise versa... There's also the commercial software from Webroot, Spyware Cleaner... There's a trial version, so if you get the problem taken care of within 30 days of install, you shouldn't need to buy it.

*snuggles my smart lil Mutey!*

So I can get away with having Spybot S&D on my computer at the same time as Ad-Aware and AVG? AND Spyware cleaner? They wont, oh I don't know, make each other not work as good or nothing? Very Happy

(excuse the lack of techie skillz)

Also, say I run all of these things and fix everything they find and whatnot. What if there's something they dont catch that's just lurking on my PC somewhere? Where would I look?
