Lavasoft’s AdAware
AdAware has long been a tool I have relied on to rid my system of spyware. However, I have found its value diminishing as time goes by. I rarely use it anymore. I did yesterday and it found no problems, so I am putting it at the bottom of my list of defensive tools I will use to protect my systems.
Leading the list is a newcomer I have talked about before, CCleaner.
Here is my list of tools to protect my systems:
CCleaner
AVG Free Anti-virus
Spybot
Windows Defender
Hosts File found at http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm
AdAware
Note that all of these are free and help me to keep my systems running virus-free and spyware-free. I am not sure I'll ever run AdAware again; maybe after a few months just to see if it finds anything the others didn't.
