![]() Check this link which covers Spyware Warrior: Rogue/Suspect Anti-Spyware Products and Web Sites Looks like your program Noadaware was on the suspicious list, got a reprieve, but it still isn't recommended (see site for more details). Here is some of what they had to say. See the above link for the full report. Excerpt from the above page: "Note on NoAdware: NoAdware was listed on this page because of concerns with false positives and the use of aggressive, deceptive advertising (1, 2, 3) including exploitation of the name "ad-aware" (1). Earlier versions of NoAdware were also the same underlying application as Adware Hitman, Consumer Identity, Protect Your Identity, SpyBan, SpywareAssassin, Spyware C.O.P., SpywareKilla, The Adware Hunter, & TheSpywareKiller. Over the past few months, NoAdware has taken aggressive steps to reign in its affiliates (who were primarily responsible for the unsavory advertising) and released a new version of NoAdware (version 3.0) that addresses our concerns with false positives. Given these changes we can no longer regard NoAdware as "rogue/suspect" anti-spyware." "Domains: no-adware.com, noadware.biz, noadware.net, no-adware.net" "(Note: other domains associated with NoAdware include: adware-free-download.com, adawareinfo.com, adwarenomore.net, adware-real-free-scan.com, adware-removal.biz, adwareremoval.net, free-adware-remover.org, free-adware-removal.net, free-adware-remover.org, free-adware-scan.com, free-spyware-check.com, nomorespyware.net, online-spybot-scan.com, spybotfinder.com, spyware-destruction.com, the-spyware-adware-remover.com, thespywarepros.com) [A: 6-26-04 / U: 11-17-04]" /end of quoted material However, please note that the site gives a full list of Trustworthy Anti-Spyware Products. I would go with one of those! ![]() www.thetechguide.com/forum/ also gives a great list of Recommended Spyware/malware Removal and preventive tools including free anti-virus solutions, software firewalls, free cleaning utilities, free online malware scanners (virus, trojans, worms), downloadable malware scanner, recommended free spyware removal tools, and tools to prevent spyware from ever being installed. ![]()
