cmuskett Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 I downloaded it and ran it.. then ran spybot and spybot still caught a few that AdAware missed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matman Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 Yes, but I find that AdAware catches some that Spybot will miss as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Rob Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 I use AdAware SpyBot and "Del *.*" The combination catches everything. It is an almost perfect solution with one minor glitch. Just using the first two seems to work pretty well also for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxturt Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 I tried the new AdAware last night and it quarantined mozz.dll and I didn't realize it at the time. The browser continued to function last night but this morning when I powered on the pc Mozilla would not / could not load. That was weird and uncalled for.

TCH-Rob Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 Ty, better go for the Del *.* I have noticed interesting things before when running AdAware as well, not lately mind you but I read through everything it is sending to quarantine and remove those I "know" I need.

TCH-Bruce Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 I have noticed interesting things before when running AdAware as well, not lately mind you but I read through everything it is sending to quarantine and remove those I "know" I need. Same here especially with my "hosts" file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curtis Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 I use A-Squared . It finds things missed by Ad-Aware, Spybot,Pest Patrol,Spy Sweeper and a few others. The free version doesn't have as many bells and whistles as the paid version($30.00) and it takes some time to scan but its my choice for cleaning up spyware.

DarqFlare Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 I use a three-pronged attack after battling spyware recently: Ad Aware SE SpyBot HijackThis! Whenever I have other pesky spyware that won't remove, I research it on Google. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
