I just rescently upgraded my adaware from 2007 se to the newest one and after i paid 35$ and got the mail disk so i cant refund i learned the new version is absolute junk.
Now IM in the market to buy a GOOD one to replace the junk those screw ups think they can sell just because the old one was the best on the market for 5 yrs.

Any help on what is a suitable replacement for adaware that also posses an update system as they did i not only will appreciate your help but recommend it to others myself.

ThankYou
Ravage777Maybe consider the free spyware terminator and others (check out the reviews) at snapfiles and for shareware...Many of the moderators on this board use Super Anti Spyware as do I.  It is an excellent program and best of all it is free.  Here is the link to it:  http://www.superantispyware.com/

If you would like to do some research on the program see this:  http://spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm#trustworthyI'm still using the old version there is nor real point to have got the newer one.  The only downside is that you manully have to get the newer definitons but I find it alot easier to use.Paying $35 for antispyware program is senseless, since many free, and often better programs are available.Does spyware terminater or any of the others stop pop-ups because that is the primary usage i need.
Nowadays if your not blocking that stuff your comp locks up in about 2-3 hrs.
The old adaware was the best i ever seen for this stuff but the newer version is absolutely junk.
You cant even turn it off,even when you do it still runs in the backround eating your resources and it DOESNT blink anymore when it blocks something so now you just have to guess if thats the reason your getting blocked.

Thanks for the help everyone.
Ravage777FireFox + Adblock PLUS = happiness.
And AdAware is still Free.
It was also never really a popup blocker per se...you may want to visit the Virus and Spyware section....check out the Please Read This and POST the appropiate logs for the Malware Removal Specialists to have a look at.Adaware sooo screwed up my computer,ive spent most of today trying to repair all the stuff it screwed up and i still only got some of it.
It also frazzed my sys restore.
When the bonus disk comes im using it for a coffee coaster,nothing more.
I only used adaware for its pop-up blocking abilitys,but now that i know its mostly a spyware thing i will just get something else that also blocks pop ups.
Man did the program ever mess up my comp!

Thanks
Ravage777I never heard of this happing, however I dont use the new ver or anything.  Maybe ccleaner an what ever else you choose to run.I seriously doubt it was AdAware that screwed up your machine here...where did you DLoad and pay for it ? ?
There are rogue sites that advertise it and scam you for your hard earned bread ..... Quote
