It's a matter of choice, but it is the only one that I use as it has real time protection and scanning.
Superantispyware, as mentioned is easy to use and a small download but it only scans and removes spyware.
If you want more, doubtless someone will come along and advise.

I have to agree about AdAware and Vista - if you use AdAware 2007 it keeps crashing (it's a bit unstable on Xp too). I've gone back to using AdAwareSE which, so far, has worked just fine. I also run Spybot S&D on the same PCs. It seems that you need to scan with a couple of programs as what one misses the other seems to catch.
I had situations where Windows Defender has caught nothing, Spybot has caught a couple of things and AdAware has caught a few more (when run one after the other) - the programs are only as good as the definition files!

Spybot also very good but this and Ad-Aware does not give real on-line protection. You have to manually update and run scan. AVG anti-spyware free version also no real on-line protection and manual update necessary. Full scan can take 2 hours!
Spyware terminator is a joy. You get automatic updates and real on-line protection, and can schedule a full scan.

Just as an aside, are you sure that Defender is fully activated? I only ask because once it is shut down it doesn't give any warning that it is not fully operational.
