Every time I ran Ad Aware and started scanning, as soon as the Ad Aware listed a newly found spyware, NOD 32 nudges the whole screen with "Spyware detected, spyware detected!" like some attention whore

NOD is more of a virus/trojan scanner to me, but the good thing is that it blocks it on sight, instai of waiting the next time you scan.

Well isnt "Whats a good spyware scanner?" a question of opinion?

I personaly use spybot search&destroy, spyblaster and CCleaner (clears all your temp files out, a great product)

Anyways didnt adware get into some trouble because they were allowing certain spyware company's past if they paid them? Something to do with Gator/Gain. I cant find the article but its one of the reasons I stopped using it.
