Maybe they are tired of feeding the freeloaders.

Last I read is that they're on "hiatus".
I've been using spybot (google it) and it's much eaier to update and works every bit as well.

I just downloaded this spybot and OMGolly, I had no idea how much spyware was on my PC. Its gone now. A very thorough (maybe too thorough ) program. It even erased my history folder. I must check those settings again.

Great program. Found Stuff Ad-Aware missed.

i tried it out for the first time tonight, ad-aware found 45 entries. not too bad i guess.

I tried Ad-Aware on a hotel's "business computer". Found BDE, Gator, and various other pieces of spyware I tremble at. Needless to say, I did not enter in any of my passwords on that machine.

spybot catches lots of stuff ad-aware doesn't. i like it best.

Thanks Aphex

I actually put the wrong link on the OPTOUT Ref.

Meant the LINK to go like this:

And BANGO, you have the answer to the question that is "Ad-aware, updated lately, still good?".

Read the update on lavasofts webpage.

Apparently they are rewriting the WHOLE thing for 6.0, because the old engine couldn't keep up. It should be ready this month for subscribers and next month freeware.

Ad-Aware 6 Plus is now available

I just installed it, and so far it has a lot of settings and the scan is a lot faster.
