Best spyware detector / cleaner?

Which is the best spyware detector or cleaner? I use a few, but to be honest each finds stuff that others don't ... it's almost hard to have just one.

First, not a cleaner, but to prevent spyware, spyware blaster is a must. I won't access arguments here :)
Next, I like Adaware... just adaware pro, not the plugins... it usually do a good job.
I used to use SpyBot ... but it stopped being effective for me.
Last but not least, my latest discovery ... XoftSpy ... it removed to spywares from a friend's PC that not all of the above together could.

what do you use?

Are you using Windows Defender from Microsoft?

Microwhat Defender? no, I haven't tried it ... I figured that windows is the main problem and wouldn't be able to come out with a decent defender, hehe ... should I check it out? Are you using it?
