Lavasoft's Ad-Aware is a nice program. But I fear that mainly advanced user will get it to cleanse their computers from spyware and adware.

Millions of copies of Gator, Kazaa and other "freeware" that installs scumware, have already been downloaded, and the rate is increasing. Almost all these users won't be aware what these programs are doing to their computers, and so they will become targets of Gator's overlaying with its own banners on sites and Ezula's/TopText's insertion of yellow sponsor links in web pages and alteration of already existing hyperlinks.
