Ad aware 6

[pabailie]

I have used ad-aware 6 for some time now, and found it to be good. But recently I notice that 1) it fails to detect any spyware, whereas it used to find some nearly every day and 2) the updating function has ceased to function. I have uninstalled and re-installed, but the problem remains. I have e mailed lavasoft, but got no response. All advice gratefully accepted.

First I heard of any problems like that. Usually the ol' uninstall/re-install does the trick.

While your waiting to resolve this issue with AdAware, you can use Spybot, equally effective:

With Spybot, anything it finds in RED is safe to remove.
