Hello everyone 😉
The new Ad-Aware has just arrived. Here are its new features:
-Extended memory scanning now scans all modules loaded by a process.
-Scanning uses the all- new CSI (Code Sequence Identification) technology to identify new and unknown variants of known targets.
-Extended registry scanning now scans registry branches of multiple-user accounts and performs additional smart checks to detect dynamically created references.
-Scanning speed is noticeably faster, and this version offers an Extended Scanning mode for known and unknown/possible browser hijackers.🙂 Go check it out !!!

SS, in your opinion, is this as good as the “giant software” based spyware removers (Like MSN’s antispy)?
Dear Oreo,
Yes, Ad-Aware is very good now but it seems that Ad-Aware is better at detecting ad-wares and spywares that are not commercially made, such as software that allows parents to spy on their kids. In the other hand, Giant Software based and Webroot’s Spysweeper are better at detecting commercial “spywares”. They all are very good, but not enough if use alone.
The best is to have them all =)
I have to agree with SS_AntiHacker on this… each of the programs is good in their own right, but they’re all better when used in combination. I typically run my virus scanner, then Ad-Aware, then Spybot, then MS AntiSpyware (formerly GIANT), then A-Squared, then HiJackThis. (i’m very thorough…), about once a week at least. just to make sure. although it wont be as necessary now that i’m off the college dorm LAN, but still. i’d rather be overly cautious than not.
each program works well towards a certain set of targets and decently towards the rest. when you use them in conjunction with others, you’re pretty well protected.
