Default Best free spy ware scanner?

Does anyone know which is the best free spy ware scanner? I have used several but some pick things up which other's don't and vice versa. So I am getting sick of running two different spy ware software to actually get everything removed.

So can you recommend one software which does the majority of everything?

To be honest, the best thing to do is to run more than one - malware changes fast, and there are always new threats around.

I run Ad Aware (the free version), Spybot Search and Destroy and Hijack This. They usually catch most things.

I have heard good things about Spybot Search and Destroy I was given this by my ISP but have never used as I didn't think it was any good, but I'll go and install it and see what it's like.

SpyBot is the best there is and its free.

Use it daily on customers computers and it picks up so much more that others doesn't.
