Ad-Aware

Frank · Jan 18, 2005

I just installed the program yesterday. I have run a full
system scan 3 times now. Each time it turned up a clean
machine. Immediately after each scan I ran Ad-Aware which
consistantly found 15 to 20 tracking cookies.

Am I doing something wrong???????????????

Not really. AntiSpy doesn't care about cookies.
Supposedly in a future version it will.

I ran ad-aware after the initial microsoft antispy
program and I found data miner files that the microsoft
program did not catch. I'm guessing the microsoft
version is still "learning" what is inaproporiate.

Hi Randall,
The Beta1 version isn't going after dataminers or cookies at this time.

I'm sticking with the adaware program. Chances are the
new antispy program won't be free.
