AD-Aware Free vs AD-Aware Plus
Are their any advantages to the Plus edition that would benefit a general user? I am willing to pay but only if it is worth it. Also a nice spyware protection would be a question also, I am currently running SpyBot S&D and I love it, but I am wondering if their are any other NON-Freewares out there that top this program. Also is their anything better than Ad-Aware.

Hi UPSer,
I chose the AdAware Pro version to get realtime protection plus a lot of other features that the free version doesn't have. I can customise what I want to look for/ignore in my scans and I am quite happy with it. I also have Spybot which I like as well as SpywareBlaster and WinPatrol Plus.I find this combo works well for me and I haven't had any real nasties for ages.
Regards Paula
