i use to have ad-aware on my computer and it did work really good.  but
i found another spyware program that i like even better that goes, and
is easier to use for those of us who aren't so computer savoy.  it is
Spybot-Search and Destroy.  it's a free download and doesn't seem to
cause the problems that i had trying to use ad-aware.  another program
that you can get is called Spyware Blaster.  it is another free download
and all it does is put a block on a long list of items ever being allowed
to get installed on your computer.  works silently in the background and
just prevents any secret installs that do occur whenever you happen to
visit a link that adds spyware from just your visit.
