Ping! Silj, and others, regarding adware detection applications
My wife, bless her little heart, found this report on adware detection and
removal applications (http://www.adwarereport.com/mt/archives/000004.html) during her surfing the internet recently. She believes that we may want to invest in one of the more highly rated ones (we both have Ad-aware SE and SpyBot S&D on our machines) as she was concerned with the figures given by this site in their performance. I'm not familiar with any of the other applications, nor can I recall reading anything in here or others groups regarding them, so I'd like to get some opinions/advice before making a decision to "upgrade" to a different adware killer. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated. Marty who likes free stuff that works well!! |

I think that Adaware and Spybot work just as well as the paid ones, so
no need to get the paid ones. -- Warren For additional help, post in http://groups.msn.com/HelpforInterne...owsME/homepage BigRedWingsFan wrote: My wife, bless her little heart, found this report on adware detection and removal applications (http://www.adwarereport.com/mt/archives/000004.html) during her surfing the internet recently.
