    Every time I run MAS it doesn't find any spyware. I run it alongside Ad-aware, it picks up 5-10 files. Why do people think it's so much better? Should I change a setting? Thanks in advance :D.

    Like many spyware programs, it finds things that others dont. MAS will find some things that Ad aware won't find, and Ad aware will find some stuff that MAS won't find. A really good program, if you are willing to pay, or can find a license for it, it Spyware Doctor. It blows MAS and Ad aware out of the water.
