I wouldn’t touch these four apps with a ten-foot pole even if people say any of these apps are “safe”.Many people probably already suggested this by now but MalwareBytes should be really be added to this list. Raymond,

They work well together. I don't use Spyware Doctor Free, because it takes too much resources, finds less than the other programs and is damn slow in scanning.

You have to use google to find the latest version, which is still able to download updates. It got a record of 1,440,413 signatures.

Maybe you could do another test. Also your Arovax AntiSpyware released an updated setup, but definitions are still outdated. Is the Advanced Spyware Remover good? It found a redirect.dll, which weren\'t found by SUPERAntiSpyware, Ad-Aware 2008 Free and Spybot - Search \'n\' Destroy. a-squared doesn\'t seem to find it also. Could it be a false positive? Spyware Terminator is the worst app i\'ve ever seen. Mayn false positives. FlashGet Update.exe is a trojan? AccessDiver is a backdoor? I definately won\'t use it again, especially it also uses ClamWIN, which isn\'t good in detecting viruses either. But thank you for the reviews about Advanced Spyware Remover Free and a-squared Free. I added them to my spaware tools. Ad-Aware got updated to Version 2008. Maybe you could do another test. Also your Arovax AntiSpyware released an updated setup, but definitions are still outdated.
