Ad aware 6...what do you like/dislike about it?
This might be the wrong forum if it is please move.
I just downloaded ad-aware 6 and ran it,so I'm wondering what do others think. What I like is that it keeps a log file of the running processes It's still easy to use although a little diferent the before because you ahve to make a check mark every time you run it for the drive/s you want to scan.I can live with that I like the frost blue color but then thats individual taste I guess It seems a little slower than the older version although I really can't back that up with any stats just feels like it is. Just a few thoughts please share your opinions if you want.

It's a little slower because it scans twice as much as the old.
The log is nice. I don't understand what you mean, "you ahve to make a check mark every time you run it for the drive/s you want to scan". Just click on the tools icon, Scanning button, Select Drives and Folders, put your tick marks in, and adaware will remember the settings. Only thing I don't like about it (the free version) is that you can't have all the stuff it found ticked for removal automatically. |

Jim: Right click in the window of all the stuff it found, and you can "select all".

(DUH!) Thanks. I was doing it the hard way, by actually going in to the preferences, reading the help, and trying to change the icon in the preferences, it's disabled in the free version. Silly me

I did download adaware 6.0 and then ran Spybot right behind it. Adaware found only cookies, which is fine that's the main reason I use it. Spybot didn't find any additional cookies but it did find the things like google searh history. Personally I don't care about those things, I go through and delete them once in a while.
Overall I liked it and I think I will continue using it. Maybe it's the interface but I just don't like Spybot as well although I think it's a good program. |

I liked it, I think spybot is still stronger but I will keep both on my system.
