Download Ad-aware 5.71.. you might be surprised

[The Dancing Peacock]

Damn, I was wondering what BDE was. I had an entry in msconfig and disabled it. Those bastards. :disgust: Gonna download it when I get home. Thanks man.

 

[johndoe52]

I just downloaded it to get spyware off of kazza but I found 8 other things. Wonder what I'll find this time.

 

[Keego]

:Q 108 registry keys!

 

[Smacksmackums]

None, just the Fake Cydoor One from KazaaLite. Oh well.

 

[Harvey]

I had already installed ver 5.70, which is only a couple of weeks old, so a new scan with ver 5.71 didn't catch anything missed by the older versions. Glad I have it, though.

 

[Mr.IncrediblyBored]

134 components found. :Q

I found that BDE crap on my own a couple weeks ago. I deleted all of the files off my harddrive but didn't bother with the registry entries. About 120 of the components were BDE registry entries.

I had one problem clearing out what I found.

I'm using Sygate Personal Firewall 4.2, and it uses a file "sporder.dll", which Ad-Aware has this as part of WebHance spyware. Sygate won't start without it tho.

It either means that they both call different files the same thing, or Sygate uses spyware??? :Q

i had never installed adaware on this os before... only found 3

 

[no0b]

I found 54 all but 1 was BDE the 1 was the inactive cydoor with kazaa lite. I think they were really harmless to me because I have them in my host file.

 

[911paramedic]

1/17 almost all were BDE, fvcking bastards.


I only found one item... and it was a cookie... what are you guys downloading anyway!? I can't believe these amounts you guys are getting!

...cough, pr0n, cough...

oh, thanks for the update info

 

[Cougar]

Man I thought you guys were full of it so I downloaded the updated reference file just to see what it would find. First I did a full scan with the version I already had and it found a bout a half dozen or so entries. I nuked them and then proceeded to download and install the update. I scanned again and it came back with 158 entries!!!!!! (technically it's 157 if you don't count the dummy .dll file in Kazaa Lite). I couldn't believe that there was so much "spyware" on my system.

I like to keep my machine clean, but geez did it find alot of junk. The best part is that probably 90% of the garbage was a result of my brother using my system. I've got no beef with him but I swear the next time he installs any garbage on my system I'm going to kill him (well, maybe not kill......I'll just smack him around a bit )

So there is no harm done with that fake Cydoor one?

EDIT:Just did a scan, my computer went from clean (other then the cydoor) to 58. Yeesh

 

[yakko]

The only thing it ever finds on my machine are the cookies.

 

[Ameesh]

what if ad-aware has spyware? what if it collects all the information that all the other spyware has collected?

It is really one big scam!

It freezes on my D, E, and G drives But still found 22/27 on my C and registry.

 

[jimmyhaha]

read this...
kazaa registry clean

if AT effect take down his site, LMK.... the owner let me mirror his site... LOL

 

[Frosty3799]

wowzers 19 regs and 31 files

 

[DrMoreau]

It only found 1 registry entry, the previous version never found anything at all.

Must be that Kazza thing that's infecting all of you cause I never seem to get spyware.

Either that or you need to stop surfing the underbelly of the Internet.
