SpyWare Tip
Yesterday's issue of LockerGnome Tech Specialist, by Randy Nieland, gives this tip about Ad-Aware, the anti-spyware software.
Anti-Spyware Shift

I was beginning to wonder what was up with Ad-Aware and the total lack of updates over the last three months. According to our pal, Mike, Lavasoft is a sinking ship and he recommends that it now be abandoned. I've been using a bit recently, but have been uneasy about whether it's actually catching everything. Mike confirms these suspicions, noting that known spyware is missed entirely, or not handled properly, potentially resulting in damage to working Windows network configurations. The alternative I usually suggest mirrors that of Spywareinfo.com... Spybot S&D.
If you've been using Ad-Aware to monitor your system for spyware, as I have been, you may want to follow the link above and read for yourself what's up with it.
