Showdown: Spyware Search & Destroy SHAMED by Super Utilities for me today

Until a few minutes ago I used SS&D regularly for at leats a year or
so. Then, perhaps 20 minutes ago, I scanned my system with the spyware
detection and removal utility of the trial version of Super Utilties
(ver. 6.25) -- it found 49 instances of spyware! Before removing the 49
instances, however, I AGAIN ran my SS&D -- as usual, it detected that
my Windows Firewal was off as well as, on this occasion, an instance of
Casal Media spyware. Disturbingly (in contrast to what Super Utilities
had found, *that* was *ALL* it detected.

I realize SS&D is free (ironically, I almost sent in a small donation a
few days ago but was too lazy -- now I WON'T) and that my copy of SU
will expire in less than 2 weeks, but JAYSUS!: compared to the *49*
spywares found by SU versus SS&D's pathetic *1* I'd have to say that
SS&D (for me, anyway) although free is virtually WORTHLESS.

I'd like to hear from others who've used/continue to use SS&D -- have
you ever compared it to other spyware killers? Did you find it as
lacking as I did or do you feel confident, based one xperience, in
saying it's compretitive with other anti-spyware apps?
