Best Program

My free McAfee trial ended yesterday on the Dell I bought so I decided
to pay the $29 to buy a full year subscription to McAfee. I ran virus
scan and it found A LOT of adware that my Ad-Aware and Spybot did not
find. My question is - Even though McAfee Virus Scan takes MUCH longer,
should I use it instead of those programs everytime?

It sounds as if you have not updated Ad-Aware or Spybot S&D.
These have to be updated the same as any AV program.
After doing your updates, I would keep all three.
When you run either Spybot or Ad-aware, disable McAfee. Turn it back
on when you are done. You should have only one malware scanner working
at any given time.

No - Actually I check for updates on both those programs daily. In fact
I had just run both programs minutes before running McAfee.
