yeah but the one you pay for is better..I happen to have that one..I have no way to get it to anyone though..but I can say that with the plug ins, namely reg edit, it does an excellent job...go to all the porn sites you want..and you will have no problems..

I use it too. It does very good work, before I was using SpyBot but Ad-Aware is better. And according to me out of the free versions SE is the best.

Keep both of them and use them. Adware, for the most part; anyways, is more of a legitimate ways that companies track your web history. Spyware is the bad stuff that that hackers and crackers use the most. Adware and spyware, eventually are detrimental to computer performance.

Is that it. Just over 1000. The little kiddies here at college have systems with several thousand and they just look at you with a blank look when you tell them. As if to say "oh really. Is that bad? How do they get on my computer?"
