I went ahead and went through my routine tonight. After CounterSpy, I ran Ad-Aware SE which found 12 cookies, one which was a data miner, missed by CounterSpy, but nothing really serious. Next I ran Spybot Search and Destroy which found nothing. Next I tried to run Microsoft Antispyware, but the update program kept saying it couldn't find the internet. I tried to reboot, but still no good so I removed it and re-installed it. This time it worked fine and found no additional spyware.

Conclusion: CounterSpy picked up a couple of key loggers which had previously been missed by the other programs but missed one data miner and a few cookies. Microsoft Antispyware, just like windows was buggy.<g>
