Hi folks

For those who use and waiting for Ad-aware's newest release, it is now available. There home site is up, but is still under contruction, the forum site seems to be stable. Here is a page that contains a "list of download" sites.
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/support/download/
As with any "new release"... travel with caution. Have up-to-date backups, well maintained file sets. As for myself, I'll wait a week and monitor the threads. Anyone taking the plunge.... KEEP US POSTED.
Thanks

I have run the program and scanned several times, and I have had no problems. I encourage people to download and try the freeware version.

Well now ,lets not get ahead of our selfs yet... I just ran this New version of Ad-aware 6.0 and It did not pick up Cydoor.... So I reinstalled 5.82 and ran it
And it picked it up.. So You may wonder Is this New version what it is crack up to be.. It just might not be better than the old version... I will keep my old version for now...

Did version 6.0 pick up any NEW type spyware version 5.82 was missing?

Indeed, I was running 5.83 - and version 6 detected two new types of spyware the old one did not.

Well Ghostman tell you what I think. When you installed adaware V6 you did not click on the link to immediately update it. Neither did I and it did not pick anything up. Then I updated it and bam! A great list of spyware sat on my machine appeared.

Try it

In addition to AdAware 6, I use Spybot as well. Both work very well on my system and I am pretty sure I am free from spyware. It doesn't hurt to have both, in my opinion.

Not only it does not hurt, but it is highly recommended.
Another decent anti-spyware is Spy Sweeper, from http://www.webroot.com I think that it is the same outfit which makes MailWasher.
