Very odd. I knew Adaware and Spybot had some differences, but, I have been
running all of them without a hiccup. As far as 'still running commercial
adware scanners'......I paid for it, by goodness, I am going to use it.
(bought it before I got the others) I run Adaware, Spybot, SpywareBlaster,
PestPatrol, ZAPro4, BHO Demon and have a 'double-throw down' HOSTS
file....everything is cooking right along.

Hi Loom!

I think you've been lucky, my Spyware buds state that of all the scanners
out there
PP false-flags the most? I ran a trial of PP a good while back and it FF'ed
some SpyBot
files? I had forgotten that any of you were still running commercial adware
scanners :)
