Excellent! It reminds me of having your cake and getting to eat it too. :
BTW, which MVP HOSTS file(s) do you use?

To be clear, I wouldn't use the additional protections because I am satisfied
with the protections I have in place. I find that duplication of active
scanning/blocking protection software usually leads to problems. I use
SpywareBlaster and the MVP HOSTS file, along with eTrust antivirus and
Firewall as active protection, all on top of properly conservative IE/OE
settings, and they seem to cover all the bases. Any more than that, Spybot's
additional tools like Immunization and TeaTime, for instance, tends to get in
my way without providing any additional protection.

Thanks for the feedback, Gary. I know I can always count on you to give a
good and informative response.

How about because it's still one the best anti-adware/spyware apps around

and
the author deserves at least a donation to his cause, if for no other

reason.
Personally, I wouldn't use the additional protections the paid version
offers, but the author is definitely deserving of some return.

Just curious Dan, but why would you want to pay for something that is
offered free ?

I was wondering if the experts thought it was worth paying for

Adaware SE
paid version if one already has the free version along with

Spybot -- Search
and Destroy, Spysweeper by Webroot, and SpywareBlaster. It is this

way in my
case and I would appreciate any information that you can give me.

Thanks in
advance.
