hi guys, I recently reformatted my hd because of serious spyware, and was wondering what the best spyware remover was.
btw, ad-aware 6.0 build 182 and spybot 1.2 found nothing.

if you had both of those running and uptodate, then it wasnt spyware/ addware mate
they are the best 2 on the market by far
SpySweeper is fast, and usually finds more than the other two mentioned. It is also not really directly attacked by some spyware like Ad-aware is. The only down side is that it is shareware and not free. You can find it online if you know what I mean.

Pest Patrol Corporate is a very powerful scanner/remover. It even found two things that Spybot and Adaware missed. Its just expensive, but can also be "tested" indefinately if you find it (PM me if you REALLY can't find it)
Are you sure you have updated them. I find people sometimes fail to do thatOriginally posted by bulio@9 May 2004 - 01:42

Gotcha.
Just so you know, the "actual" trial version isn't as fuctional as the full version... I think. I haven't been using the trial version in quite a while. I just use the full version.

I have a CDRW on which I keep the latest versions of Spysweeper, Spybot, Adaware, HijackThis and McAfee's Stinger. I use it for computers that I visit with malware problems.
