Ad-aware can fuck up your computer. I am building a log of users complaining
after removing stuff with Ad-aware.

Years ago when all this spyware shit started Ad-aware stood alone but they stopped
working on it and Spybot took up the slack. Ad-aware has been trying to catch up
ever since.

The Ad-aware ppl stopped working on it so they could work on some very shitty
games they made. After the game thing pooched out they jumped back on Ad-aware.

Spybot doesn't have a bad track record, it just keeps on killing spyware and you still
have a functioning comp after the removals.
