Spybot S&D found all the spyware on my system and removed it in one go. Windows Defender on the other hand, i ran it 5 or so times, it detected some and even though it said it removed them, the spyware remained on my system. Cnet's review is stupid, who cares if its fast if it doesnt do its JOB?! spybot is way better.
