This is a great product that never gets mainstream reviews, and I never would have found it unless the manufacturer had used the dirty trick of selling it at the url - www.adaware.com   I found the product by accident, looking for Ad-Aware.  I was delighted to see how quickly it scanned my machine, and a little surprised to see that it wanted me to PAY in order to do the cleanup.   Well, I paid via paypal, it was 4.95 at the time, and within seconds my computer was free of spyware and popups. It was the BEST  five bucks I've ever spent.    The price has since gone up to $9.95 - and that's per year - but I happily pay it every time a customer comes in with a spyware problem.  This software just works.   It stops processes when it can, or gives instructions on how to run in Safe Mode.  It tells the consumer how to re-set the browser settings and even puts in a powerful realtime scanner.   And the customer service staff is great - they take ownership of problems and works with you via phone and email until your problems are resolved.    I use this product to clean machines that have been reported virus and spyware free by Norton, Ad-Aware and SpyBot S&D.   It's a must-have for a professional, and a sure bet for a home user.

I can''t leave this comment Hello Company Director, Sales Manager or whatever. You hung yourself when you did the professional advertising bit by highlighting the best five bucks i''''ve ever spent shit. Undefended
Actually I found the product by accident and have used it a lot. I have a hard time convincing people that it does the job because it is listed as malware. But the only reason it''s listed as malware (i did a log of research because I get this question A LOT) is because the company owns the URL -adaware.com - and won''t give it to LAVASOFT. In my opinion, the freeloader here is Lavasoft - by giving their product a name that was owned by another anti-spyware company. Don''t be so fast to judge a book by it''s malware listing. If you think it''s malware, put a URL up here that shows what the malware does - it''s not spyware, it''s fully voluntary, it''s not a resource hog and it really works. My company supports over 10,000 PCs in the field and we think the world of this product.

Hello Company Director, Sales Manager or whatever. You hung yourself when you did the professional advertising bit by highlighting the best five bucks i''ve ever spent shit. You must think we''re really stupid people altogether. Have you considered Aluria Software as a career their always looking for spoofers.

This product is on the infamous Spyware Warrior Rogue/Suspect AntiSpyware Products list. I would think it would be best to heed their warnings. They have been at it for a couple of years now. If the product was known to be 100% trustworthy, it would have been taken off of the list by now.
