I have been using ADAWARE for a while. Recently I download the free trial of
NOADWARE and suprisingly enough, ADAWARE claims NOADWARE as malware??? Can someone make this clear? This is really confusing me...

When I go to majorgeeks.com, there are tons of softwares which are advertised to do the job of adaware. Can you share your experiences of using these softwares. I don't mind to pay for a good shareware if it really works. Thank you

the only thing i have used is adaware. i know for a fact that it has no spyware or malware within it. i cannot speak for any others but i'll try some research.

we all know adaware gets alot of spyware, malware, and the works but it can't get it all.

I wouldnt pay for these programs, adaware and spybot work very well when used together. There updated often and they do a good job for a free program.
I been using Spyware Blaster along with these 2 programs and it blocks alot of this stuff from ever being loaded. I like it so far.

I am using Adaware. I used Spybot before and I liked it at first. But after a while I caused problem to my system. That gave me a bad impression about this soft. I don't know if they improved yet but I have not wanted to try them again.
The Noadware actually found something Adaware can not find and I beleive what it found are spywares because one of the suspected item is from the DAP which is famous of having a lot of spywares.

Anyway, we are still in learning process on which one is the best anispyware prog. out there. Please share your experience so that we can understand these prog.s better.

Thank you for sharing.

The adware programs to use:

Ad Aware
Spybot Search & Destroy
CWShredder

CWShredder is a valuable too to get rid of the Coolwebsearch spyware/trojan.

Really bad. I use it every week.
