Ad-aware used to detect New.net but not anymore because ad-aware says they are innocent now.

We'll never get rid of advertising. They pushed as much of it as we could stomach on TV and now they'll find the breaking point for the net. Sonner or later we'll be required to have adware installed just to get online, mark my words. |

It's bad enough when your app misses stuff due to a new trojan or some programming error, but toknow that they've been paid off the list. sucks. Capitalism gone awry IMO. |

Maybe it is time to take a different approach.
Maybe it is time to take a different approach.
Instead of marketing the anti adware and anti spyware software as they do I think it should be marketed as a performance enhancement utility. I should be able to remove any software off my PC as I see fit. The anti adware and anti spyware vendors won’t list the villains as adware or spyware. They would just be providing a utility to remove ( crap ) software. |

Re: ad
I don't think there's a program out there that covers 100% of spyware anyway. I run a combo of spybot and adaware. |

Sonner or later we'll be required to have adware installed just to get online, mark my words. Tolate aol has done that for years juno has always been that way netzero again advert banner or no net. Netzero and juno essentially dont allow you to play any full screen game. This covers up their banner and its a instant disconnect for you. Corse you can always find the netzero banner program and end task on it and avoid that.
Ad sponsered pay internet has been around for a very long time. Ive never seen so many adverts as i do on aol when i work on such a system. On log in you have half a dozen windows with adverts.
