Stop using Lavasoft's Ad-aware

I truly hate that it has come to this. Lavasoft's Ad-aware used to be a fine product. Not only was it the only free solution for finding and destroying advertising spyware, it was also a good program. However, Lavasoft has abandoned Ad-aware 5.83. Support is still offered at their support forums and via email, but the program is no longer being updated to handle new spyware targets. In fact, I feel that it is necessary to recommend to everyone that they simply remove Ad-aware version 5 entirely. Using it in its current, unupdated form can be, and has been proven to be dangerous. 

Spyware Info

I didn't know this. I guess I can wait till Feb.

Preach on. Never heard of spybot, always been an ad-aware guy. I'll have to check it out.

The new AdAware is much better. But being the anal type I use Spybot and AdAware!

I use both now. Also, spybot now checks for over 11000 files.
