I've heard Adaware is no longer making new updates (bummer). So, I am looking for a new program that will do the same thing. Does anyone know of one that works well?
 
spybot is very nice replacement.

I don't have the link, do a google search for it

be very carefull on your first scan...amke sure you read all the microsoft entries before deleting them, as some you are sure to not want to delete
 
Thanks SPeedy! I'll check it out. I know I could have found several myself, but I figured someone else out there had already done it and weeded out the crappy ones.

Ok, how I do I know which of the not-so-obvious ones to not delete?
 
spybot has a great feature which describes the purpose of every entry is finds

ask speedy, he'll tell you about it:rolleyes:
 
Lavasoft is not making anymore updates for their Adaware version 5.XX software... they will be releasing a new version of their software (ver. 6.XX) in Jan for paying customers, and Feb for freeware...

I'm a genius (that or I read 714 other websites that posted this info yesterday).

Glad I could spread the great news.
 
Until you are comfortable with SpyBot, just delete the items marked in RED
 
And the old, 1/2 blind old ppl would like to thank you for the large print :rolleyes: :p

Sweet, they're welcome. (scope the Dealer sig... lol)
 
I get a message saying that the product is not available until the beginning of February. :(
 
thanx for the update poly...I also saw your post over at the lavasoft board

this is news, and important enough to get it's own thread

I haven't downloaded the program yet, we'll get a review as soon as someone tries it.

thanx again

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
