Thanks for all the kind words, everyone. I hope you're feeling safer now that you've gotten rid of those little sneaks. Note that AdAware has just been updated so go over to their new US web page and download the latest version: www.lavasoftusa.com

Also: I've written a related review of a great program called AdSubtract that rounds out your protection of privacy. Go to:

...that I downloaded Ad-Aware before I even finished reading your review! This is scary stuff, especially with as much time as I spend on the internet...and I ain't always lookin' at the Encyclopedia Britannica...Whew!

Hey thanks, everyone, for the kind words. Glad you're practicing safe soft. Here's a link to an article I found on ZD-Net that offers even more protection: http://www.zdnet.com/downloads/prespick/0201/index.html
