Important to note: there's no reason why you can't use many spyware scanners on the same machine. They're not like firewalls and virus scanners which interfere with each other. Also important to note, no anti-spyware company has been brave enough to tag known spyware in major software such as AOL or Windows Vista. It will be a banner day when they do...

I think they need to have another beta release. What's the news on Windows OneCare? Windows Defender is better than no anti-spyware tool. I think they need to have another beta release.

I just don't understand all these tight asses that demand free software - you certainly do get what you pay for in this case! From a happy Spyware Dcotor customer.....
