| Re: Add another one... There is only two products I use for removing adware/spyware from computers I get in, Spybot S&D and Ad-Aware.
Everytime I've tried using Pest Patrol it doesn't work worth a damn so I just uninstall it too. Why waste my time with a product that doesn't do what it advertises.

Everytime I've tried using Pest Patrol it doesn't work worth a damn so I just uninstall it too. Why waste my time with a product that doesn't do what it advertises. I've long used Ad-Aware, but right *before* the recent Lavasoft/WhenU spat added Spybot S&D to the mix -- and found that the "resident" feature is really nice.  I also have the M$ anti-spyware beta around here somewhere, but haven't installed it yet...
That said, I rarely get spyware in the first place, as I use Firefox and not IE and generally avoid the types of software (P2P apps, etc.) that carry it (and when I *do* torrents and so on I use open-source stuff)...

North Aurora, IL | I'm more of a Spy Sweeper guy myself. I used to like AdAware, but even before the questions of Claria, I found Spy Sweeper solving more issues with my pcs than AdAware was. | |

Lavasoft made themselves look vulnerable and now, Pest Patrol wusses out.
No thanks. Once a company balks at the very thing they are offering protection against, they lose credibility in my book. | |

I've had good luck with their program, and I don't think they're going to "wuss" out.

| I've recommended to all of my customers to identify the programs they are using.. If these programs happen to be removing the Adware /spaware definitions i've told my clients to contact the Company and request a refund as their product is not working as stated..
This is going to be a field day with the states attorney generals.. Wait they have no time for this they are trying to keep brain dead people alive. | |
