Oh killer. Didn't know it was a new free version too. I noticed when I checked for updates with the previous version that it was saying, "only x amount of days untill Ad-Aware 2007"

Thanks

Spiffy, I'm a Spybot user myself... but I haven't used Ad-Aware in so long.
Would any of ya'll say that it's a bit more efficient than Spybot yet?

Isn't Spybot only for removing adverts and such on your PC?

Anyway, this has been my favourite for a while now. If anyone remembers my Windows Defender/Ad Aware SE Personal thread...

So is ad aware...

They've both found different things for me so I use both.

I use Adaware in conjunction with spybot. Both have strengths where the other has weaknesses.

It works with Windows Defender?

Its not too bad. Its always best to use a layered defense for doing spyware scans anyway. So by all means use Spybot and AdAware.
