We'd run AdAware and MalwareBytes and de-gunk the hand-me-down computer they got sent to UW-Madison with. We could ask what utilities they wanted installed -- and would run the installers on that CD-ROM to give them Netscape, GOPHER, QuickTime for their OS, a modem manager, Flash Media Player.

[Q]
how do i gettrid of spyware?

[A]
I use AdAware but I also use Spybot. One will find things the other doesn't. Between the two, it keeps my computer nice and cleaned up!

Jeez. It's more controlled and secure than it's ever been. Remember the days before antivirus software? Firewalls? Adaware?
Not everything is a conspiracy, you know!

Not sure about that, I've never used Netflix in a browser. If they're not supposed to be there (not an ad supported Netflix subscription) then you may have some kind of malware, which AdAware will find and eliminate.

AdAware. No ads, no popups, no charge (they accept donations). Many years of experience.

i generally don't like thinking about the fact that programs from 20 years ago would be aggressively removed by the likes of spybot search & destroy or adaware for much smaller offenses than entire operating systems commit today

@AdAware Appreciated!

@AdAware Web Companion has conflicts with McAffee

Hey, @AdAware, you didn't fix my computer as promised and now the spyware are tweeting at me. But I did enjoy that chocolate sandwich.

I healed my computer with Adaware, & got my coffee grinder to barely-limping status. Miraculously I'm feasting on pancakes, coffee, & Suits.

Funny thing is, I was the person who got my company to buy @lavasoft @AdAware years ago. It sucks that there are hoops to jump thru now.

After trying to "register" my @lavasoft @AdAware many times, talking to their Twitter support, getting no email replies, I'm uninstalling.
March 25, 2025 at 6:35 AM
AdAware -- is there something LESS FUCKING ANNOYING than @Lavasoft's ridiculous constant "UPGRADE ME" whoreyness out there?
March 25, 2025 at 8:57 AM
Wow, AdAware, you've gotten really fucking annoying.

It's like the Adobe Updater had sex with the Apple Updater, while doing speed.

I haven't used it in years, but I used to recommend AdAware. Now, I recommend NOT using it:

マルウェアの検出率、AvastよりAdawareの方が高いなあ。Avastのスキャンに引っ掛からなかった木馬がAdawareに引っ掛かったよ。
