    I've been all over both of these lately; just added spybot 10 days ago. As long as I'm on top of my updates, I think spybot has definitely outstripped adaware in its usefulness; I haven't caught a THING with adaware that I didn't catch first with 'Bot. Is it still a good idea to keep both ( they're not exactly space hogs)?

    I also use them both.
    There shouldn't be any problems with that.
    They're both great programs! B)

    Agree with all above, greatest feature of AAW is IMO :ad-watch
    SpybotSD seems to update more frequently.
    There is also pestpatrol (from www.safersite.com) this also sometimes finds
    bugs ,but it is a bit of a bulky prog.
    All seem to work well together with no conflicts.

    SpyBot 1.1 has been tested with Ad-aware 6 and beat it. I use it.
