I know lavasoft Ad-Aware SE as we knew it for years is no longer available.

Now their site advertise Ad-Aware 2008... not entirely sure if this is a

"free" or "trial". Can someone shed some light, and if not really free,

suggest a replacement. Thanks.

Re: Ad-Aware

 

I'm pretty sure there is a free version for that one but I can't really say

for sure as I stopped using it when the 2007 version came out, too many

hiccups with it.

Have you had a look at SuperAntiSpyware Paul, there is a free version and a

paid one. The free version can only do a manual scan but the Pro version has

real time protection, I use the Pro version and find it very good but that

runs on XP I have the free version installed on my WinME machine and neither

takes up too much in the way of resources.

In addition to Joan's recommendation, take a look at a-squared free.

 

http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/free/

 

It had a high detection rate in a comparison of malware scanners. The

test did not include malware removal effectiveness.

Re: Ad-Aware

 

 

It's a "free trial" for 30 days, I believe, the "totally free" times are

over for Ad-Aware.

As Joanie suggested "SuperAntiSpyware" is a very good substitute (originally

introduced by Heather van Figgs) and I use "a-squared Free" in addition

also, as mentioned by TomV.

I dumped it when became 2007 due to it not ever finding anything and

that the feature you have to pay to get still used RAM and loaded with

Windows. Does Superantispyware ever find anything?

I suppose a lot depends on your surfing habits on whether it finds anything

or not.

If it finds anything on my box it's usually a couple of tracking cookies but

a lot of times it finds nothing, but then I also have Windows Defender,

there's not a lot that can get to my machine <g>

and thats when trouble starts,,, when one 'thinks' not a lot can get in.

 

after ditching adaware (cos of their stupidity) my combo is now:::

'spybot, a-squared, spywareblaster, and avast',, and even then, i couldnt say that the govt' in

some way form or manner doesnt own/control them... no-one can.

same for my above spyware protection software.... i couldnt tell you whether or not they are the

same ppl who write spyware thereby enticing the mums n' dads to purchase their products,,,,,

lets get real ppls.

 

point being,,, 'HouseKeeping'...! good puter housekeeping and using file-destroyers at

d-o-d level are the best place to start.

constant defrag is a must,,, and yes, it does take a few months of life out of your hard-drive,

but its worth it.

 

joan, trust me, there is More than a lot that can get into your machine..... after all, it is

just a machine, isnt it?

And your protection for root kits and BIOS malware is? There's a reason

that Linux has a reputation for being safer than Windows ;-)

Well, you lost my interest at *puter* and *ppls*.....and I do believe

Joanie can take care of both herself and her computer. ROFL!!

 

Jeanette.......we have all known each other for roughly 8 years and

trust me, there isn't anything out there that we collectively don't know

about. I specialized in viruses and malware.....Mike is the Guru of

WinME & XP......Heirloom knows all the cleaners and savers of

accidentally deleted stuff......etc., etc.

 

So if you want advice, just ask us. OH, and as for who writes the

spyware and malware?? Know some of them too and they DON'T work for the

anti-malware/anti-spyware companies......that is a really dumb myth.

LOL.

 

Back to lurking and jewellery.

 

Hey Joanie, Elayne leaves Saturday and she has now got her *mojo* back

Re: Ad-Aware

 

I am guilty of not replying to emails.....dunno why. Just one of those

moods, I guess. OTOH, I have been busy getting ready for the brat's 2

week visit and also making jewellery. Not to mention bidding on eBay

for Swarovski crystals for a song and so on.

 

Loon sent me pictures of himself in his *birthday suit*......bwa ha ha.

No, they were cats and dogs. Elayne just bought herself a dog before

she came and it is so cute. Half Shih Tzu and half Havanese......a pure

Cuban breed. Shoot, all the Yanks on here won't know what it is cuz

they can't know anything about Cuba. ROFL!!

 

I promise I will write you and Mikey very shortly and send you some pics

of our creations. The local bead store guy really likes the stuff we

are making. I am going to have to figure out how and where to sell it.

eBay? Nah. Local store? Perhaps. Certainly not going to put an ad in

the paper giving my address what with all the crime lately, lol.

 

Elayne did an amazing copper & Swarovski necklace and is now working on

yet another expensive gemstone one. Wahhhhhhh, I am going to miss her

terribly, but we won't tell her!! It is her birthday tomorrow so have

to take her clothes shopping. She leave at 4 pm on Saturday.

i know these things heather,, problem is, this generation that is alive today is the most

un-trustworthy that ever existed.... watch the six oclock news,, (and even that cant be trusted).

then you'd have to know them rooooooooley pretty well,, even to the extent of pillow-talk,, cos'

no-one is worthy of trust in this generation, and no-one is trustworthy either. (i bet you dont

know what your cousin is doing right now? i sure as heck dont know what mine is doing;; everyone

in jails are someones cousin, or someones sister, or someones brother, or even worse, someones's

mothers' son... yes?)

 

a "puter" is lika gun,,,, (and will be quoting merican saying) "its not the gun that is at fault,

its the one holding it".. if anyone thinks that a 'puter' is not a gun, then they

havent quite matured yet. and, yes, the user is still the problem,,,, or more to the

point, the attitude of the user.... take osama for instance,,,, (and the list goes on (or

back) right from caesars times,,, through to and past hitlers,, and bushes,, and onward to a

new american pressie,, but alas, when new pressie comes in, the world is already at war.....

and 99% of it is via 'puters'.... am i making sense yet heather?)

 

and if you 'think' for one minute, or one nano-second, that every key you press isnt logged in a

place where you didnt authorise it to be logged, then you are sorely mistaken.

 

anyhow, is no biggee,

Two things:

 

1. "Puter" is not a word. "Pewter" is. "Kewl" is not cool.

 

2. You're paranoid. Trust me, what you type on your computer is not

important enough for *anyone* to be logging it. That said, if you want

true safety, check out Ubuntu Linux, http://www.ubuntu.com, and get yourself a

router with a hard firewall I recommend Edimax routers.

Re: Ad-Aware

 

There is a lot of misinformation regarding this post.

 

There is definitely a Free Version of AdAware 2008 and it is NOT a trial

version although there is a paid version too.

 

http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php

 

Also, AdAware SE can still be used except that you will have to do

manual updates - the updates are posted at the Lavasoft web site on the

page below - look at the top right side - both the AAW 2008 AND AAW SE

version updates are there.

 

http://www.lavasoft.com/support/securitycenter/blog/

 

One can use a third party utility in a batch file to download the update

but it's a little tricky to configure.

Re: Ad-Aware

 

 

They may call it a "free" version, but it is only a "TrialPay" version and

with it goes a free "Plus" version. And none of this pertains to WinME

anymore.

Doesn't make much of a difference either, does it?

We've found substitutes of at least equal value. <H>.

Fred S

The posted there have started giving the error message now. It was working

fine before. The old defs file

are working ok.

Something wrong with the new files.

 

Defs.refs file SE1R261 of 18.06.08 and

Defs.refs file SE1R262 of 24.06.08

give an error message

"error while loading the Ad-Aware definitions file"

Any help ?
