Default Replacement for Ad-Aware SE

Hi every one,
Back from across the pond. Glad to see this groups is still alive and
kicking.
Noticed that most members got rid of Ad-Aware SE. Anyone can suggest a
replacement (free is possible). I had heard of Spyware Terminator at
www.spywareterminator.com before leaving 5 months ago, but didnt have the
time to act on it. Your opinion appreciated. Glad to be back to this group.

Default Replacement for Ad-Aware SE

I replaced Ad-Aware with Spyware Terminator last winter and have been
pleased with the results.

I use SpywareBlaster but the one I have for anti spyware instead of Ad-Aware
is SuperAntiSpyware, they have a free version or the paid Pro version which
is permanently monitoring.

Default Replacement for Ad-Aware SE

Hi Joanie.....

I have been trying out one called Malware Bytes. It found two really
old registry entries that none of the others found. One of the writers
is someone I know and he laughed when I told him what it found. One was
from something called WeatherBug.....don't even remember using it. If
you want the link, I will get it. It only takes 4 minutes to do a quick
scan and that is way better than SuperAntispyware which takes 20.

But they all have their own niche spots......I did get rid of AdAware,
but I find that Spybot takes EONS to run. However I usually do that one
every week.

Cheers......and I will catch you guys up on the latest via
email....Figgs
