I've found that SAS does a pretty good job. That said, no anti-spyware
program will pick all items up. I always recommend two or more anti-spyware
programs to check a system. I also agree with your comments on review. To
be real, it has to be done "real life".

Hi BD
Not a lot as far as I am concerned -
I have been running SAS for nearly six months along with 2 other 'pay for'
and 4/5 free progs.
They all pick up different things, but SAS is the only one that says all my
shopping favourites are high risk?????????
All are top UK shops, like Harrods, Viking, HMV, IWOOT, Currys, Dixons etc.
The funny thing is that it never picks up on any porn sites I put into
favourites - perhaps they are safer? - but other antispys have picked up a
few of these porn sites - but not all.
And before you go off on 'safe hex' subject - its all done on a spare system
to conduct a six month trial of the top recommended antispy's.
It has/is fun - most catch seakmo, zango, 180 solutions and their ilk - but
SAS has missed them on occassion - I have not just concentrated on the
'naughty' sites, but gaming/music/video and others I read are bad.
I have had IE browser hijackers as well - backdoor/frontdoor stuff - all in
all a good cross-section.
I have for some time doubted tests done by review sites - none do a 'real
life' surfing scenario, so thought it a good idea to see what happens.
On conclusion the HDD will be removed and tapped with a 12lb hammer :-)
But I have found my favourite now - the one that found just about everything
but not all - but then one or two of the others sorted those problems.
Take care
Rgds
