YOU ARE NOW CHATTING WITH SALES REP 'Jason'
Jason: How may I help you?
YOU: Hi I am visiting your site wondering what is better about this software then spybot/adaware
YOU: what makes this worth the money you have to pay?
Jason: For one, zerospyware is updated weekly
YOU: That is it?
Jason: there's more..
YOU: like?
Jason: unlike zerospyware, other anti-spyware tools classify all cookies as bad cookies and delete them instantly
YOU: no they dont
YOU: that is a flat out lie
YOU: it targets tracking cookies
YOU: and leaves the rest
Jason: zerospyware only deletes tracking cookies, known as trackware
YOU: ya and so do spybot/adaware
Jason: i see... what other anti spyware program do this?
YOU: Well I guess yours does but it isnt worth money. Just cause its updated weekly.
Jason: new spyware applications comeout everyday
Jason: and Zerospyware also scans realtime, not just on demand
Jason: and unlike other anti-spyware applications, zerospyware PREVENTS spyware apps from getting onto your system
YOU: yes well there are other programs that block spyware from getting on to
Jason: such as?
YOU: Spyware Blaster
Jason: but are they up-to-date?

So I guess the only thing they have going for them is that they update weekly.

the only difference between the Pro and NON pro versions of adaware is that the pro version gives you "AD-watch" which stops spyeare in real time, its actually kinda pointless if you run a firewall

spybot is alwo free
