I have a executable adware program called Adsearch, dated 10/01. Can't find any
text on my hd about it.

Anyone have any current info on it's current status or use?

Yes, that got me to a home page, and a current update file.

Still, is this useful compared to Adaware and Spybot?

Is that date 10/01/2001?

Lavasoft's Ad-Search [PL2001] seems to be making a reappearance. . .
