    I still use SpywareBlaster and WinPatrol. I was using the others a long time ago but since all they were catching are cookies, i dont really need them anymore. ;)

    Adaware
    Ewido trial
    Spybot
    SpywareBlaster
    AVG
    Eusing Free Registry Cleaner
    Dial-A-Fix
    Hijack
    PestPatrol
    SpySweeper trial

    A few specific removal tools like SmitRem and Vundo remover

    I've got all of them except WinPatrol, plus ewido. Mostly for on-demand scans other than the few that are inherently resident (or sort-of-resident, in the case of SpywareBlaster).

    Since each has its own set of defs and/or heuristic "rules", although there's no doubt considerable overlap (and should be), I think that using multiple non-conflicting apps is inherent in a good multi-layer defense strategy.
