I want to emphasize what others have already said, and it's that no one should rely on a single spyware scanner, especially RR-Pro. I've been trying that particular program for several weeks now, and have been less than satisfied with it.
The problem is that its scans seem to be cursory, at best. Any spyware program that performs a "complete" scan in about 30 seconds (as RR does) is not scanning all files on your computer. I use "Spyware Terminator" and "AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5," which each take slightly more than half an hour for a complete scan, as well as "SUPERantispyware," which can consume up to two hours if I tell it to scan everything. Half a minute? I don't think so, folks.
