Just ran it, and it found 223 things Ad-Aware 6.0 didn't detect :eek: :nono:

[Kane Knight]

Awesome.

[Kane Knight]

Holy shit...I'm already up to 40, and I barely started.

[BCWWF]

Mine is cleaning up shop.

Norton is such a joke, it can't even delete anything, on a totally different subject

[Funky Fly]

Fuuuuuck this is nice. Gonna spread the word tomorrow.

[DaveWadding]

HOTT.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Damn, still can't get EVERYTHING thats running, but setting the option that makes it run on start up grabs them (which it didn't before) so I'de reccomend everyone doing that too

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Just to let people know that when they download it, or if you already have it, to update the definitions. There is already another one out and it's just picked up another 20 peices of spyware

[road doggy dogg]

Just one question... Should I uninstall Ad-Aware 6 before installing this? Or is it just an 'update'?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Just one question... Should I uninstall Ad-Aware 6 before installing this? Or is it just an 'update'?
The SE installer uninstalls 6 for you automatically

[road doggy dogg]

Yeah I just found that out :love:

Damn, it's found 116 things so far :o And I ran Ad-Aware 6 last night. :o

[Y2Ant]

Found 179 on mine after I ran Spybot a couple days ago.

Is it worth downloading the 2.0 version of it?

[Boondock Saint]

Nice, very nice. Thanks, :y:

[Disturbed316]

Nice :y:

[NowThatsPrfect]

i had 269 files that adaware 6.0 couldnt find shit and it found sum shit ive never seen now im gunna run it as windows starts to find extra stuff program is excellent!!

[NowThatsPrfect]

how come i cant use ad-watch it says that it comes with adaware se and that itll block the cookies but it says i need a license version or sumthin ne comments?

[Funky Fly]

because you have the free version. If you cough up $40 or find a shared version of the full version online somewhere, you can have the pro version (like me).

[NowThatsPrfect]

i downloaded the add-on vx2 cleaner and when i run it it says that my system is clean of it yet when i performa smart scan with ad-aware i get atleast 3 things that have vx2 why wont it find it?

[el fregadero]

It only found 58 for me, but half of those were in some Archives folder and couldn't be deleted, so whatever.
