Bull. It's still spyware as far as I'm concerned, and I hope they go out of business....painfully, even...

Just damn.

If you want on the new list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

I use ad aware, it is shareware for the basic program, I had 94 adware/spyware programs running on my system the first time I ran it, and my system was sluggish to say the least, and I am on DSL.

Now I am back to full speed, it's wonderful stuff.

Ad aware is an excellent program, took it 5 minutes to find and get rid of the garbage.

Their software is the most invasive and intrusive software I have ever had.

Somehow I got it on this computer. It tried to take over the computer when I fired it up each morning or after it went into hibernation.

It was really having a negative impact. A young relative came over and spent about 1 hour delousing my computer to get rid of it.

I think I got it by visiting their site after some Freeper posted that it was a great site.

Spywareblaster will keep Gator from ever installing, no matter how it tries to sneak or bluff it's way onto your computer.
I just now updated the database from last week's and there are about 14 new spyware definitions to block:
