| 658214 | 2008-04-12 14:42:00 | Does Ad-Aware prevent? I don't have it now, but it only ever identified stuff (during a scan), then removed it when I did have it. Maybe I didn't set it properly..? |

| 658216 | 2008-04-12 15:11:00 | Does Ad-Aware prevent? Dunno about the latest version, but traditionaly it doesn't live-scan, ie it only works retrospectively when you run it. [edit] ah, Bees sheds the light. Thx. |

| 658219 | 2008-04-12 23:42:00 | Adaware 2007 is not nearly as good as previous versions, I dumped it a while ago. I actually find the latest version of Spybot S&D does a really good job. | wratterus (105) | ||
| 658220 | 2008-04-13 04:08:00 | Identify/Removal/Prevent |BoClean Identify/Removal/Prevent |Spyware Doctor FREE Prevent |Spywareblaster Other|CCleaner My findings: Boclean isn't terribly useful. SD Free is good, however I've found it causes memory conflict issues on a few PCs. AdAware 2007 causes BSODs on a few machines, for that matter. Spyware Blaster wasn't that great either. CCleaner is a housekeeping tool, so doesn't come into it. |
