Yes we like Ad-Ware, and yes AOL's program is really that bad.

Try their (AOL) Anti-Virus. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I recommend these free programs.

AVG 7 Free
AVG is NEVER wrong, though, while most others may detect a Virus when there isn't one.

Spybot Search & Destroy.
Another usefull tool, the BEST, check the Tech Downloads thread..

ZoneAlarm. This prevents hackers from getting into your computer while its plugged into the internet cable.

Norton Internet Security comes with its own version of these apps, and is a Very good software bundle.

ZoneAlarm comes with a decent Anti-Virus, but I wouldn't recommend using it alone. Several other AntiVirus utilities are recommended to be used at the same time, as one ot two viruses may not be detectable by one program.
Tell me, my friend, have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?

For spyware I also use Webroot Spy Sweeper. I believe you might have to purchase a license though if they changed the rules for their trial version.

AOL sucks... therefore anything with AOL in it, most likely sucks too.... and their "spyware"-"removal" and their "virus" "protection"... ad-aware and spybot are the best man.... i found 734 things on my moms computer with ad-aware alone......

if you want no adware just get your whole hard disk wiped and just save files on a disk
