Clair Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I use several free programs to guard my laptop against undesirables.One of them is Ad-Aware and they currently have a special anniversary download available from this page: http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Thanks for that Clair, although I used to use Ad-Aware, I got fed up with all the messing around they did with it last year. In addition, most of my time, at the moment, is on a laptop running Vista and Ad-aware never found anything. So, I removed it. How do you find it now - if it's ok I may put it back on my XP machines.Regards - Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 I have used it for years to clean the PC and laptop.This version runs Ad-Watch Live in the background.

Tim Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Thanks Clair.As I said, I also used it for several years, but was put off last year as they seemed to make much more difficult to update and use, and it never found anything on Vista anyway.So, bearing mind what you've said, I may give it another go.Thanks again - Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
