Why only superantispyware does it pick up everything ad-aware and spybot find?

And much more besides

Is this from personal experience or unbiased statistics?

Is it possible that his PC has infected mine? (we have a home network) and also how can i stop this in the future? Also how do i reuduce the amount of items that run at start up on my son's PC, is it msconfig? sorry its been that long, i've forgotton how to do it

So you would never recommend using Ad-Aware and Spybot as superantispyware finds everything they do? From what i have read in lots of places they normally recommend more than 1 spyware scanner

No scanner is 100% effective that's why I use both Ad-Aware and Spybot to maximise my chances of picking anything up.

What computer is it. Why not run the restore CD? YOU WILL LOOSE ALL DATA, PHOTS, MUSIC ECT .....

try disconnecting the pc form the router, reboot then run the scan
