Don't get me wrong, they are fine products and the price is right. In fact
some computers we use those programs to fix issues, because we can run them
from CD. My point is that the people who do the updates for those programs
have other 9-5 jobs. I'm just putting my 2 cents in. We do a ton of PC
tune-ups at work, and we have found McAfee's to be the best Adware/Spyware
preventer and remover so far.

We have also found that Spybot and Adaware do not have the safest removal
techniques. The most known is New.Net. If removed with Spybot or Adaware, you
will damage your winsock. With a damaged winsock, you can no longer access the
internet, you will get a PAGE NOT FOUND error.

You can often find McAfee's AntiSpyware on sale for FREE after rebate, with
makes that price right also.

Adware Filter is more of a pop-up blocker and spy preventer, than a
adware/spyware remover. AdAware 6 does not get the updates that AdAware SE
does. AdAware SE does a much better job of cleaning the registry for those
using WinXP, especially those who use multiple log on names.

i found that many of the spyware programs tend to miss those search bar
take-overs. bhodemon is specifically for them

By that logic, I would presume that Microsoft crap is better than
Linux?
