The Lavasoft product that Microsoft previously recommended
seems more robust than this new beta. Adware 6.0 finds
more threats.
 
Lavasoft AdAware also finds cookies and wants to remove them which typically
accounts for the bulk of it's finds. MS AntiSpyware does not attack cookies.

This is not to say AdAware is not also a great product. The problem with
cookies is the confusion they cause. Cookies are not a bad thing with the
exception of a few and these will be dealt with at some point I'm sure.

I feel spyware and the such require quite a number of tools
to remove them all. I have used Lavasoft's Ad-aware for a
long time as well as Spybot S&D and HijackThis! between the
three progs I have been relatively clean. I installed
Giant's Antispyware after performing scans with all three
of the before mentioned progs and Giant found many more
threats. I have been happy with Giant ever since I have
installed it and feel that it will only help to install it
as well as continue to use the old faithful ones.

Just my opinion of course!
