Re: Good Move Webroot!

Well, I have a Webroot licence. And although I agree Adaware is a good spyware remover, Spyware goes further.

It has shields to prevent Spyware getting on you PC in the first place.

For me that's worth paying for.

But to react on the topic starter. Good move of Webroot. Ad/Spyware companies have no place in COAST.

Re: Good Move Webroot!

Actually, I use IE-Spyad for ad/spy/crapware prevention...and it does a remarkably good job too, without interfering with the user at all. Even old definitions (several months and going) still hold at bay most of the crapware install attempts out there.

AD-Aware Pro has a smiliar shield, -> Ad Watch which comes with pro

But other then that I agree.

Ad Watch does wht you say prevent s Registry mods -> Start up mods, Without your consent
