I am checking for preferred effectiveness...

I really like M$. I thought that it would suck but I found it great!

The "DiconnectfromtheInet" is by far the best. But it's a physical protection system. If you're looking for software then I would recommand "Ad-Aware SE". MS AS is not really free. You licened it with Windows

Kinda answered the question yourself.....
You can't go wrong having all 3 programs installed not forgetting spywareblaster.
I wouldn't say any of the programs is more superior as they complement each other ie what spybot misses adware will pick up and vice versa

I use hitman pro (www.hitmanpro.nl) It combines Ad-Aware and Spybot with other free tools as spywareblaster, a trial of Spy Sweeper and some more. Combine that With MS antispyware and you're safe.

Add Ewido into your arsenal. It has a free trial version that is great for helping to clean up a messed up system.

Also this site has some very useful tools. I use Hijackthis! frequently.

I use as much as I can get my hands on, just to be safe

using both three+virus scanners but think Ad-Aware SE is best of those three
