Adaware, 1st run, confused
I installed Ad-Aware since it is so f'quently
endorsed by MSNG MVP's. Being a noncomplit Newbie, I'm finding the program's large Help regime overplexing. I've tried accessing Tomcoyote forum and forumSpyware but no responses yet. I think I could work thru it if I could get past one sticking point: access to the Ad-Watch Events Log Window. When I open |click Icon|, it takes me to "Status Window". A note says, Adwatch... "not loaded". (I don't know if that means anything). When I |Quick Launch Icon| it takes me to "General Options", whereas the Help text I am following indicates I should be in "Settings",where I should click Adwatch button. I |Adwatch| in "General" "Settings", but the cue boxes are greyed x's and don't respond. I'm having prob's with a few other Help features too, which make me think the author(s) had subscribers a little more advanced than the rooster in mind. Should I just keep plugging or can someone 'clue me in'? rooster boundary bay bc |

That should open on the Status page? first check for updates. then Start. select all it finds? Follow on screen prompts and remove them. AdWatch is only available in the 'paid for' version. HTH? |

I'll let my anger management therapist go get something put on that eye now. rooster |

SPYBOT is free also from www.download.com.com Gene, Thanks. I don't seem to have a cue for LAVASOFT in my start p'gm, but I'll dig some more. I'm using the Free version for now. Could it be that your Rx applies to paid users? [op. cit. "Mac"; same thread] I do have the newest SPYBOT S&D (Advanced mode) as well as a^2, WinPatrol, Spyhunter(Search), and Hijackthis/Winzip, the concerted instructions for which pairing were also written for someone with a savvy set a couple of SD's farther west of the bulge than me. rooster -----Original Message----- I installed Ad-Aware since it is so f'quently endorsed by MSNG MVP's.

I just hadn't allowed for there being a diff between the two versions. It 'quarantined' a dozen or so things, which I suppose is a good thing, but didn't find anything SS&D and WinPatrol had missed. I didn't check the run time closely, but is seems to do its duty the quickest of the three. I also have a^2 on tap; very slow. Do y'all have any opinion as to keeping it running too? rooster |
