My feeling too. I use multiples, I just find the improvements in Spybot S&D 1.4 make it worthy of downloading over 1.2 & 1.3. When I scan with half dozen products speed is important. I don't think much of Norton's AS product yet. In general I don't put too much credance in these reviews. PCMag just did a review of anti-spyware products and included only one of the top products (IMO) in the mix.

Spybot is great, but there is no single product that finds and removes everything.

But after reading the heavy praise over Norton's -- mostly over the interface and ease of use -- I was concerned with this: >In tests, Spybot missed two out of three of the commercial spy packages >I planted for it to find.
