kd5 Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 In late January, Lavasoft released its long-awaited Ad-aware 6.0--and added a $40 price tag. Now, the free version of Ad-aware is virtually the same as version 5.0, and to get the new of the new enhancements, you have to pay the $40. This fee, though admittedly not very high, started to seem less worth it..... I don't like him He gave some misleading information about AdAware 6.....it's not "virtually the same as AdAware 5", and made it sound like you don't get squat unless you pay for it. I have the free version of AdAware 6, and I happen to think it's one h*ll of a program, along with Spybot S&D! 'Course, that's just my opinion... -kd5- Link to post Share on other sites
Ax Slinger Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 Not to mention, I get such a kick out people who write articles like that, with catchy names like "How to protect yourself from snooping software", and then post them on websites that have Webbugs on them, like that one... To me, that's like a neon sign that says... "Dont listen to me, I obviously don't have a clue what I'm talking about!" Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 Well I'm with kd5, I think it's a great program and in conjunction with Spybot I've got that "1-2 punch." here! Link to post Share on other sites
mmanya Posted February 22, 2003 Author Share Posted February 22, 2003 Like the topic title, my point was that others are pointing out to the general public to look for spyware. I wasn't referring to his personal opinion / choices for protection ... True, some may take his word at face-value, but, the important thing is that the message is getting through !!! Even if people take his word / suggestions to heart, at LEAST they now KNOW and are doing SOMETHING to try to protect themselves ...
