Hi,
Yes Adaware and SpyBot SD find totally different things and both are essintial.
Also Windows Defender will pick up different things as well. and don't
forget your Anti-virus software. These days you can't ever have enough
scanning programs if your going to travel the internet on a regular basis.

Hi Julie,
You say that if you have both Spybot and AdAware, each of them picks up stuff
that the other misses. I've heard this said before, but I wonder, how do you
know? Do you inspect what each program has caught every time you do a scan
with one of them, for instance?
Thanks.

I don't think either one is better than the other, and having both isn't a
bad idea. They both pick up things the others don't. I got my versions from
the JFW Lite page, and of course have updated them since, but that's where
mine came from originally. Take care.
