Re: Bye Lavasoft

Here's another reason to not give up on Adaware.

So many other programs find less spyware on your system than Adaware. You can basically catagorize Adaware with them. Less reliable.

But if you think ONE spyware/adware remover is all you need, you're only fooling yourself. Whenever I run into an infected system that I'm going to try to clean, I use: Adaware, Spybot, MS Antispyware thingy (now anyway), Trendmicro's home scan, Hijack this, AVG and whatever old virus program that was previously installed.

I'll keep using lavasoft.

They use a good (free) product for basic ad ware removal. If you don't like it you can always go elsewhere for other peices of software. However I do not see an issue with this, "yes they should just do a flat out removal of software, but it's their decision isn't it?". I disagree with the fact that companies try to bury their legitamacy in side tactics.

However due to their track record I will continue to use their software until they do not meet my needs....... well not my needs, the needs of people's pc's I fix.

Yep. Same here. So far, it's only 1 item, of which I haven't seen in ages anyway. Probably because I use Opera anyway. It's always been a good product, especially for free, so hopefully, what it doesn't detect, Spybot will. But, like I said, I use Opera and haven't had any spyware in I don't know how long. These products usually just find the usual tracking cookies and MUI's.
