Alright I know AdAware is already a free program from Lavasoft. However, with the introduction of Anniversary Edition, I've been having too many problems to deal with the software any longer. These problems aren't limited to my laptop, either, but extend to my Windows XP desktop as well. So here goes (don't forget it's alright to have more than one anti-spyware program):
Spybot Search & Destroy
Spybot is here to protect you from the spyware and malware lurking in the dark corners of the internet. Scanning your computer for malicious programs and files is quick (Read: under half an hour) and thorough. After completing the scan, a list of tracking cookies and malicious files is displayed for you to remove. The latest version also incorporated an active background check and browser monitor so you're covered from all angles.
Pros: Multiple levels of protection
Cons: Have to update manually
User level: Beginner to Advanced

Spybot is not a crippled program like the free Adaware. The free version does not block some spyware because Lavasoft has been paid not to block it.
ReplyDeleteCheck out the free Clamwin, too. It does viruses, trojans and malware.
Thanks for the tip on Clamwin, I'll check it out right away :D
