Spyhunter adware remover

I have both spybot and lavasoft's ad-aware. I think spybot is a better at detecting offending programs/spyware.
 
It appears some people claim Spybot itself has spyware components and/or causes your system to malfunction. The pattern of the product reviews on CNET is suspicious, lots of rave reviews presenting Spybot as the best tool out there but also a fair amount of reviewers guarding against the hype and the problems the software causes. I haven't tried it yet but I for one know that it's useless against adware.searchcounter (see my thread on this)

Have used spybot for 18 months now, never had one problem.

is it possible to retrieve information from a reformatted harddrive?

I was told the one instance that you cannot retrieve info was when you reformatted your hard drive.

But, check with an expert.
