I thought AdAware was spyware itself. It cleans off all the competing
spy/ad
ware but leaves its own stuff.

Yeah, they were sued by the New York attorney general. They settled a
few
months ago. Maybe they are legit now.


Death from Above


How funny, I knew that program was cr@p. I was a programmer for a guy
that also
ran a computer store, and all of his Techs *swore* by AdAware. I mean
these guys
*pushed* that software off onto _everybody_ that didn't own it. They even
tried
pushing it off onto me, but I told them the day I saw it that the program
was a
piece of sh!t and I didn't trust it.


I've used it and except for the occasional windows inspired glitch
have never had serious problems from it. I have trouble believing
that any software recommended and tested by Steve Gibson (Spinrite 6.0)
is really all that bad.
