Actually, I don't want them in prison - funded by my tax dollars so they can play pool and watch cable TV all day long. They should be de-skinned and salted. Period. ;)

Or does anyone have any suggestions for an alternative spyware scanner?

they newest sig file is like 09/24/02, which is barely over a month old

I DL'd that latest file...it's a zip file which unzips into a weird file extension. (.awr) Where do I paste that file to, please?

*EDIT*
OK, I see another .awr file in the Lavasoft folder. Obviously, it goes there. BUT do I ADD this new file to the folder, leaving the old one, or remove the old one and subsitute this new one for it? Thanks.

Download LavaSoft's "Refupdate" for AdAware. You can run it and it will automatically update Adaware.
