Ad-Aware 6 has some new reference files available...

GM, every time I use it I look for updates and so far it has had an update every time.....

Hmmm, I thought I looked before (lots), and this time there was one. It took out 113 things.

Yowtch.......

113???? Surely most of these are cookies?

Thanks for the heads up on the ref file.

Not a lot of cookies. Registery keys, a registery value, one process, folders, files, I forget all the stuff.... A lot of it was WildTangent.

Thanks Goodmorphing, I was just about to look myself.

Just tried it. Ran version 5.83 first, then 6.0 - and it did find extra stuff.

What exactly does this Ad-Watch bit do? its been loaded for days but always remains empty

better yet.. what the hell is that shit that pops up while i leave my connection on the web up over night... its a little window thats not web-looking .... just has text messages in side..... i get them way too much =/ my ad aware doesn't even get rid of that.........

ahhhhhhhhh sorrie i said a bad word my bad

There is a new kind of pop-up that is rather insidious. It takes advantage of an XP 'feature'... you can read about it here:

Ad-Aware won't catch it.

Oh Groovy thank you soooooooooooo much!!!!!!!!! =D

For those who use and like Adaware, I would suggest also getting BPS spyware/adware remover.


Both will look for and remove spyware/adware that the other won't and it is said they should be used in conjuction.

I've ran adaware before with it finding nothing then running BPS spyware remover with it finding multiple components. Never the other way around. And if I had to choose to use only one, it would be BPS spyware/adware remover.
