Ad Aware (03 Aug 2001 at 09:28)

Here's a good piece of software for Windows called Ad-Aware which detects and removes spyware (programs installed with other software which do things like download ads or send information out to corporations) from your computer. Run it! (I think I keep a pretty tight ship, but it did find a few DLLs and registry keys that I hadn't known about.)

Does this software actually attract unwanted sypware and viruses because of what it does?
