Dearch and Destroy?

[bob05]

About time they make an updated version! ;)

Already downloaded.

It's early but it feels better than 1.2.

Theres a surprse! I rarely use it as the definitions aren't updated anywhere near enough and it won't pick up a lot of the stuff that AdAware can.

I'll give this new version a shot though.

[Rugor]

I started using it when it was updating and Adaware wasn't. I now tend to use both as they each have strengths. Spybot is better at blocking spyware, and Adaware at removing it.

However I've noticed more false positives on Adaware -- including e-books tagged as "tracking cookies."

I think the new version is why the updates have really dropped off lately. Now that it's out we may well see more it updated more frequently.

At least it looks and feels better than the old version and the Update option is nice and visible and in a good location.
Still seems a little slow though.

One thing I noticed is that if I run ZoneAlarm's Cache Cleaner before I run Adaware, Adaware usually doesn't find anything. But if I don't, it almost is like it defines all cookies as "tracking" cookies.

[zybch]

Thats because virtually all cookies are tracking cookies.
Thats what cookies are used for.

Just downloaded it, looks a little cleaner,
Thanks!

Didn't like it, have reverted to Spybot S&D 1.2 with last updates. Sticking with SpywareBlaster for immunization.

Used S-bot 3.1 to quarantined some questionable registry files, which in turn caused some browser programs. Using restore is a snap and all is well. They sounded sooo suppect :r
