Hi

Curious as to how you determined that it "is a very weak program", if
you have time to answer.

I'd like to hear the reasoning on that myself. I'll admit they've had
some issues a time or two, but they were mostly just annoying.

They can't unless they deliberately put adware/spyware on their PC and then
see if Spybot detects it or not over other anti-spyware apps. I've seen
Spybot detect stuff that Adaware hasn't before. Anyway, it's best to use a
multi-layered approach and Spybot stays on my PC along with about four
other apps I use.

I have no desire to stop anyone else from using Spybot. I guess we all use a
multilayered approach. I find by using AdAware and SUPER Antispyware and
Spybot in turn, the two others pick up a lot of stuff and Spybot picks up
very little. I rotate them to give each an equal chance. I now also use
AVGAntiSpy and Counterspy, payware, both of which are very good indeed. So I
consider Spybot redundant on my machine as I feel well protected.
Nothing against it ,or its kind provider personally, but I find I have
little use for it that's all.
