They did run adaware first and then spybot. However, after that he replaced the Drive Image that took the entire Harddrive back to it's infected state, but to where S&D and Ad-aware were still not installed. This gave him a duplicate enviroment to retest the different order.


1. Infect computer
2. Create image
3. Install S&D and Ad-ware
4. Preform Ad-aware and then S&D test
5. Restore Image from step 2, to get origonal infected enviroment
6. PReform S&D and then Ad-aware test
7. ???
8. Profit
Im guessing that step 7 is from Southpark .

I guess the process is alright... But I would have loved to see a three column chart comparing the results, with a column for malware, ad aware, spybot, and checkmarks for what ad aware and a spybot individually removed. Kinda like one of those charts they have when you compare webhosts or whatever.
